Now that IS interesting. When I read up on Grub, which would have been 6-8 months ago, letters weren't listed as a possibility---when I first tried FreeBSD, did a bit of searching on deja, and saw that people were having success with the simple chainloader +1, so I tried it and it worked. (As I said, it also works with Solaris.) I'm going to have to try that and see if it also works. :) (not sure if this is going to make it to the list, due to some peculiarities with RoadRunner's setup, so if not, please feel free to cc the list.
