Hi all, i'm experiencing problems with the installation of the GRUB bootloader. I= have=20 installed the port (grub version 0.92) and created the /boot/grub directo= ry=20 with the files from /usr/local/share/grub/i381-freebsd. Next I created a=20 menu.lst file in /boot/grub and thought to install GRUB in the mbr, so I=20 launch the grub shell. My fbsd install is on ad0s2 with / on partition a.= If=20 i am correct that should be (hd0,1,a) for grub, right? well this is what = i=20 get: grub> root (hd0,1,a) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist I looked up the error in the manual and it says: "This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full filename=20 refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by = the=20 BIOS in the system." which doesn't help me much i'm afraid... dmesg shows my disk as follows: ad0: 39266MB <IC35L040AVVN07-0> [79780/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 does anyone have a clue what's going on here?
