HD1 is divided into 4 partitions Partition1 contain freebsd 8.2. Partition 2 filled with garbage. partition is extended and holds ubuntu. I am trying to get pcbsd work in partition 4. I use GAG to boot the various Operating systems. GAG finds a Freebsd loader for freebsd 8.2 and freebsd 9.1. Gag finds a grub2 loader for ubuntu. This grub will also loads freebsd 8.2 but not 9.2. I can not get PCBSD boot with GAG. My system boots from the HD1 MBR. I do not want to try installing a pcbsd boot loader in either disk's MBR until I can get all 3 systems to boot from my new install of usb grub2! I can currently boot ubuntu and freebsd8.2 from usb grub, but have been able to get freebsd 9.1 to boot. I haven't tried to get pcbsd to boot from the usb grub yet. Searching the web for direction find many suggestions but I have found nothing that works. Many are version unknown. Below is the usb grub 40_custom. As you can see from the commented out lines, I have tried many different combinations of entered commands. Do you have any suggestions? ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry "FreeBSD 8.2" { insmod ufs2 set root='(hd1,msdos1)' # search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4c9511e4308fb60f kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel # kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints # kfreebsd_module /boot/splash.bmp type=splash_image_data set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:ad4s1a } menuentry "FreeBSD 9.1"{ # insmod chain # insmod ufs2 set root='(hd0,1)' # chainloader +1 # kfreebsd /boot/kernel # set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:ad1s1a # title Freebsd 9.1 #rootnoverify (hd0,1) #root (hd0,a) kernel /boot/kernel/kernel END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### If you also have suggestions on how I try to boot the pcbsd OS, I would appreciate them! Thanks, Tom Oakes I found the problem The DVD drive must be HD0, so the second hard drive turned out to be HD2.
