I have a temporary setup to test my new bright shiny AND STABLE FreeBSD media server (many thanks to all those involved in getting dvb cards working on BSD), but I have left the default F10 setup so I can iron out bugs and still have a tv if it breaks. So I setup grub.conf- the man pages are rather useful, but the long and the short of it is that its simple to work out: Name the system you want to boot, and provide a root for it. Don't chainload. So the core of it (from memory mind, so check the man and anyone else correct the errors) was as follows: title FreeBSD 8.1 root(hd 1,a) Root will vary according to your needs. Mine was on a second disk, slice 1a. I assume from what you have said regarding BSD loading winblow$ that the reverse (BSD load linux) would be true too in the same fashion.
