Nothing -- 'error: file not found' is the first message. My Grub does not know about 'find', so I'll assume that 'search --file' works the same for the following commands. > In GRUB console what does > > find /boot grub> search --file /boot error: no such device: /boot. > find /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 grub> search --file /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 hd1,msdos1 > find /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 grub> search --file /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 hd1,msdos1 > find /etc/debian_version grub> search --file /etc/debian_version hd0,msdos1 hd1,msdos1 > find /boot/grub/core.img grub> search --file /boot/grub/core.img hd1,msdos1 > find /boot/grub/ext2.mod grub> search --file /boot/grub/ext2.mod hd1,msdos1 These last two are very confusing because the output should include hd0,msdos1 -- the kFreeBSD partition -- I presume. No difference if I run 'insmod ufs2' beforehand. > On GRUB console does > > insmod ext2.mod > > work? This command gives an error, but "insmod ext2" is working. I was confused by the output above so I tried to boot kFreeBSD from the GRUB console in the same way. It appears that GRUB cannot see any of the files in the kFreeBSD partition when testing from the console. But when I use the menuentry, KFreeBSD boots fine. I typed in the exact commands from the kFreeBSD menuentry into the console: grub> insmod part_msdos grub> insmod ufs2 grub> set root='(hd0,msdos1)' grub> search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 4f71fd5b806762cc error: file not found. (repeat ~25 times) error: no such device: 4f71fd5b806762cc. grub> kfreebsd /boot/kfreebsd-8.2-1-amd64.gz error: file not found.
