[snip] With version 0.90, the menu.lst syntax has changed a bit. Rather than (hdx,a) for the boot sector of hard drive "x," the syntax for FreeBSD is (hdx,y,a) for the boot sector of the "y" slice or partition (starting with zero) on hard drive "x." For example, if FreeBSD is on the fourth slice/partition of my first hard drive, then the menu.lst entry would look like this: title FreeBSD root (hd0,3,a) kernel /boot/loader BTW, what steps did you take to install GRUB?
