Thanks. I'm beginning to think reportbug is going to be the solution to this. I've created a generic menu.lst, run update-grub numerous times, reinstalled grub2, replaced it with grub-legacy, ... The suggested "grub-config" doesn't exist (apt-file search doesn't find it), update-grub complains bitterly about the ptns: [ 1326.943454 ] UFS-fs error (device hda1): ufs_check_page: \ bad entry in directory #2 ... ... I've added OBSD to /etc/grub.d/40_custom ... No joy. On top of that, once logged in via gdm, my mouse goes invisible. Great. Classic "Debian gotcha's". Exactly why I want to run testing on my sandbox. :-) Neither grub2 nor grub-legacy ever offer OBSD as a boot option. I'd be happy to go forward w grub2 if I can get it to work. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
