FWIW, if you want to dual boot Linux and FreeBSD, you're better off using GRUB. That works fine. For example, put something like this in your (Linux) /boot/grub/menu.lst: # FreeBSD title FreeBSD 7-CURRENT root (hd0,2,a) kernel /boot/loader Note that Linux counts partitions differently. hd0,2,a is /dev/ad0s3a.
