You probably have one slice - DOS partition - with multiple FreeBSD partitions in it. For that one, you need to do: title FreeBSD root (hd1,0,a) kernel /boot/loader > When I reboot, I don't see FreeBSD as one of the choices. I'm not sure why you don't see freebsd. Possibly because it couldn't find a file system on (hd1,a). http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
