I am likely not understanding you correctly, but - You did not say that you changed your GRUB configuration (menu.lst) file. FreeBSD does not automagically reconfigure GRUB. You must add the proper FreeBSD entry yourself. To see an example FreeBSD menu.lst entry, look at the GRUB documentation on the Web at http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub/html_node/Configuration.html#Configuration Jud
