I've not done this since 2009, but found in my notes:
# The OpenBSD section of the menu.lst config file, for GRUB. # ## You would like to use: # root (hd1,1,a) # kernel --type=openbsd /bsd # # But OpenBSD passes bios & kernel parameters with its own bootloader, # the first stage of which is installed in the partition boot record, # and in turn calls /boot, which in turn loads kernel /bsd. So just # use the GRUB chainloader instead: # ## OpenBSD title OpenBSD root (hd1,1) makeactive chainloader +1 Naturally, your root device may vary. -David On Wed, 27 May 2015, cobalt wrote:
