GRUB is good. A very informative article about GRUB can be found here: http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue85/4622.html If you decide to use GRUB, you'll need a few lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst to load FBSD - the following is what I have: title FreeBSD root (hd0,1,a) kernel /boot/loader boot Obviously, the second line will vary depending on which partition you've installed FBSD. And if you've got Windows on the first partition: title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 I suggest you download the GRUB boot floppy and experiment with that before deciding if you want to install it to your MBR. hope this helps, Robert _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
