Is there a good notes/documentation on how to use GRUB2? What I need basically is where to put files (eg. stage1, stage2 and *_stage1_5 of GRUB1 in /boot/grub/.) and a sample configuration file. Anyway meanwhile I'll try to find some documentation. > > > ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/ > > > I got my file from above location. I think these kinds of questions should probably go to the GNU GRUB folks though, don't you think? I don't mean to sound like I'm stepping on your efforts, but the sysutils/grub port has very little to it (meaning, issues/problems of this type should very likely be issues with GRUB itself and not with the port or FreeBSD). It would be really cool if since you're working on getting GRUB2 working, you could make a port for it, e.g. sysutils/grub2. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
