I had FBSD 4.7 installed on my second hard drive, with linux on the
first and using GRUB as the boot loader.  With the following in my
/etc/grub.conf 

title   FreeBSD 4.7 
        root(hd1,0,a) 
        kernel /boot/loader 

this booted 4.7 fine, but fails when trying to boot 5.0 which I just did
a fresh install.. I get the following error:

Booting 'FreeBSD 5.0'

root(hd1,0,a)
  Filesystem type is ffs, partition type 0xa5
kernel /boot/loader

Error 15:  File not found

Any idea why /boot/loader wouldnt exist?  This is a fresh install of
5.0.. I haven't even booted it up yet, since I can't get this to work.  

Thanks,
Aaron
