Hi, did you install all these operating systems on one single disk? Did you install the Bootloader of FreeBSD in the first disk? Afaik the FreeBSD Bootloader supports only primary partitions. So if Linux resides in a logical partition you can't reach it by the FreeBSD bootloader. If want to boot from logical partitions lilo or grub will do. -Hanspeter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
