Hi Eric--peculiarities in our sendmail server prohibit me from cc'ing the list. However, I've always found it easiest to stick a floppy in the floppy drive then do grub-install '(fd0)' For some reason, this seems to properly put the necessary files in the boot directory. I have a page on grub by the way, that might be of use at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/grub.html Anyway, for the menu.lst, saying your default is WinXP default=0 timeout=10 title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title FreeBSD root (hd0,a) kernel /boot/loader HTH Scott Robbins -----End Original Message----- So, what you're saying is that listing the drive as fd0 will put the correct boot files on my primary, non FreeBSD, WindowsXP hard disk?
