Well, anything like 'hdc' is irrelevant, then. As far as grub is concerned, it's 'hd0'. To Linux, it's /dev/hda. Do you have FreeBSD installed on the 1st partition of that drive, with /boot, swap, and / on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, respectively? If you have /boot on the 2nd partition of the drive, the salient part of grub.conf would be something like:
root (hd0,1) kernel (hd0,1)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda4 initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 All this is contingent on your drive being partitioned as you implied earlier. As root, run fdisk -l, and send the output. On 09:56 Sun 12 Oct , Monah Baki wrote: > I have just 1 drive. > > > On Sun, 12 Oct 2003 05:58:37 -0400, Barry Marler wrote > > You'll have problems.
