If I boot with the bootdisk I can loade FreeBSD (with the chainloader), but if 
I'm using grub on the disk I get:

--------------------------------------------------
GRUB loading stage1.5.


GRUB loading, pelase wait...
Error 18
--------------------------------------------------

I've edited the menu.lst to make sure FreeBSD is loaded with the chainloader, 
but I don't think that is the problem. Stage1.5 is not on the floppy, so 
maybe it is having problems finding it? If yes, do I have to reinstall 
FreeBSD and place /boot differently in order to make it work?
