Grub does recognise FreeBSD partitions so you can use either the=20 chainloader command or point grub directly to /boot/loader, though I=20 can't speak for the Ubuntu version. Here's the menu file for my box=20 with FreeBSD 6.3, FreeBSD 7.0 and Windoze: default 0 timeout 3 hiddenmenu color white/blue yellow/blue title FreeBSD 6.3 root (hd0,0,a) kernel /boot/loader title FreeBSD 7.0 root (hd0,1,a) kernel /boot/loader title MS Windows root (hd0,3) makeactive chainloader +1 title Floppy root (fd0) chainloader +1 =2D-=20 Mike Clarke
