Assuming grub is functional, you might want to just keep it and add another entry like this: title FreeBSD root (hd1,1,a) kernel /boot/loader savedefault replacing (hd1,1,a) with whatever "find /boot/loader" at the grub CLI returns. If your grub doesn't have UFS support, then the find and kernel commands won't work, and you'll have to chainload to the FreeBSD slice's bootblock instead of using the "kernel" command. If you really want booteasy back, boot into FreeBSD and run "boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0" (or whatever your 1st hardrive's device is) -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
