This is not really a problem, it's something that you should follow if you don't want to have problem. > o GRUB is not installed.

Yes, you have to install it on a UFS filesystem to get GRUB 2 installed. Currently GRUB 2 doesn't supports booting GNU/kFreeBSD on ext2. This is not fully true anymore (the unstable version does), but grub-installer still doesn't. It may change in a near future, but for that the GRUB 2 version from unstable should first migrate to testing. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
