Hey List- I installed Grub from ports (cvsup'ed from tonight) and can't quite get her working. I am running 4.8rel. I copied in the various *stage file into /boot/grub . I created a grub.conf and sym-linked menu.lst to it and made everything 444. My grub.conf looks like this: default 0 timeout 5 splashimage=(hd0,2,a)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=FreeBSD root (hd0,2,a) kernel (hd0,2,a)/boot/loader title=WinBlows_XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 I have run: tcsh# grub grub> root(hd0,2,a) grub> setup(hd0) grub> quit It says it installed fine, etc.... However when I reboot I just get dropped to the grub> prompt. So it's in the MBR. I can then manually type: grub> root (hd0,2,a) grub> kernel (hd0,2,a)/boot/loader grub> boot and it works all fine and dandy. However I would like the menu to come up :) Would the splashimage do that? In my experience, the Splash Image being screwed up just causes it to use it's default text layout. Thanks for any hints.
