Just installed the grub port tonight, and a slightly different config works nicely on my slightly different system. I've got one disk, with W2K on the first partition and FreeBSD on the second. Here's a piece of my /boot/grub/menu.lst file: title W2K root (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 title FreeBSD root (hd0,1,a) kernel /boot/loader I wonder if something as simple as substituting "root (hd1,0,a)" in the FreeBSD section would work in Paul's situation?
