I am a little confuzed. There are so many different ways to do this. One way is grub-install /dev/hd0 or stages. except hd0 is not a device under freebsd. I am trying to install it to the mbr. At least I think that's where I should install it. i believe ad0s1 is windows and ad0s2 is freebsd ----------------------------------------------------------------------- flipnode@solid# grub-install /dev/ad0/ Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. /dev/ad0/: Not found or not a block device. flipnode@solid# grub-install /dev/hd0 /dev/hd0: Not found or not a block device. flipnode@solid# grub-install /dev/ad0 /dev/ad0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. flipnode@solid# grub-install /dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. flipnode@solid# grub-install /dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. flipnode@solid# grub-install /dev/ad0s2 /dev/ad0s2 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- just a little confuzed.. :o/ Bruce
