Here you can add an entry for FreeBSD. You are right that GRUB doesn't automatically detect a new FreeBSD installation, but it can be configured to boot /dev/sda1, which is where FreeBSD's / partition should be should have been installed to. Sadly, the author did not provide any information which partitioning scheme (I assume MBR), which partition sizes, and which file system he did select during installation, so it's more or less guesswork. Due to Linux's fdisk program not understanding FreeBSD partitioning layouts properly, the presented output doesn't help much. However, a look at the GRUB configuration tool, accessible from Linux, should be of significant help. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
