Very interesting that my Linux experience helped a bit. I just read about GRUB being in the ports collection this afternoon.. and thanks to you now know how to install it from FreeBSD. The GRUB's new home page by the way seems to be http://www.gnu.org/software/grub And regarding the reason I had to drop BootEasy: If I understand Nimrod's earlier posting on this list correctly, the reason why I can't use FreeBSD's BootEasy with that bl**dy Reiser FS Linux partition is because it is actually an extended one (containing /, /usr, ..), that can't be handled by BootEasy.
