while I have not changed this line.
/boot is part of the / heirarchy, which is on /dev/hda6 assuming
the disk is an IDE disk in the laptop.
What I have is:
IDE: FreeBSD, with FreeBSD MBR
USB enclosure:
first 2 partitions Windows
hda5 - SWAP
hda6 - /
hda7 - /var
hda8 - /usr
hda9 - /tmp
hda10 - /usr/src
hda11 - /usr/portage
hda12 - /home
GRUB is instaled in MBR.
Now, on boot, the FreeBSD bootloader gets me to the GRUB loader on
the USB drive.
What I believe I need to know is how to remap the partitions on the
original IDE drive to SCSI partitions, because that drive is now in the USB
enclosure.
Also, I need to know how to "change" the Windows partition so that
Windows believe it is the first disk, otherwise it will not boot.
