Any one using multiboot please reply. I have a system that is running
several linux distros, each on its own hard drive. I have also got
windows 7 pro and KfreeBSD on their own hard drives. I want to get the
grub2 osprobe to recognize the KfreeBSD disk as its also set up with a
grub boot loader. all the other drives are recognized & are able to be
booted natively using a grub install on the mbr of the main (first)
boot drive. That was/is configured properly using update-grub. I have
installed the ufs tools and verified that there is a ufs1 & ufs2 mod
in the kernel directory.
Any suggestions as to what to do. I've looked at several web pages
about this and most seem out of date & I'm apprehensive about directly
editing the grub.cfg file as it says to NOT do that.
Thanks!

The reason you don't directly edit grub.cfg is that it is overwritten
every time update-grub runs.
Do you really have multiple hard drives or just multiple partitions? If
you actually have several hard drives, you probably would be better off
setting them up as a RAID array then partitioning the array, but that's
another discussion.
Anyway, have you tried booting into your BSD system and updating grub
from there? Alternatively, have you looked for BSD grub configurations
that you can add to your /etc/grub.d/ folder as a custom kernel then
running update-grub again? Also, make sure that you update-initramfs -u
or you might not get the modules you need in the initramfs.
