How can I make the FreeBSD show up so I can select. I'm dual booting Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD on my laptop. The boot manager is Grub2 what probably applies to your first-Xubuntu installation, too. You need to put a section into "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" that looks like this: menuentry "FreeBSD" --class freebsd --class bsd --class os { insmod ufs2 set root=hd0,9 echo 'Loading FreeBSD ...' kfreebsd /boot/loader } (working here) or maybe menuentry "FreeBSD" --class freebsd --class bsd --class os { set root=(hd0,9) echo 'Loading FreeBSD ...' chainloader +1 } Probably you have to put this into a file like "/etc/grub.d/40_custom" and then run "grub-mkconfig". Make a copy of your existing "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" first in case you happen to spoil your whole installation. Find the detailed information how to proceed by Google.
