Right.  But notice 2 and 3 above (in the "root" lines).

| menuentry "FreeBSD 7-Stable i386" {

| chainloader +1
| }

and notice 3 and 3 in yours.

Aren't you pointing GRUB to the same location (the third partition on
hd0), in both entries?

Ah, right, sorry. The bit I pasted was not the bit I actually used. I had changed the second one to hd0,4 in the running version but I didn't back up that version of the file. I also forgot to mention that I had found the ,a syntax while searching but that didn't help either.

Someone responded to me privately to suggest gag.sf.net, which seems promising. Anyone have bad experiences with that?
