The thing is, when i try to get GRUB to boot FBSD, i get the following error message: root (hd0,2,a) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 Then, in the GRUB-shell, i get this from auto-completion. Partition num: 2, [BSD sub-partitions immediately follow] BSD Partition num: 'a', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num: 'b', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num: 'd', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num: 'e', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num: 'f', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 And i'm guessing that it is because of this, it then grub> kernel /boot/loader ro root=/dev/hda3 Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition This is an extract of my grub.conf. I looked for info about this, and found no other reference. title FreeBSD 5.1 Release root (hd0,2,a) kernel /boot/loader ro root=/dev/hda3 I will appreciate any input. Thanks.
