I'm trying to setup FreeBSD 5.1 on my Dell C640, dual booting with Windows
2000.

I cannot get grub to install. When I run grub-install, it churns for a few
seconds and comes back with:

/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.

I have verified all of the files are in /boot/grub and made sure / was UFS1,
NOT UFS2. (Tried both ways actually.)

It installs fine on FreeBSD 4.8 without changing anything else about the
drive arrangement. On 4.8 I have to change /boot/grub/devices.map to
/dev/rad0. This does not seem to work for 5.1.

Any help appreciated.
