No, your root is apparently hdc4, so you'd append root=/dev/hdc4 to the kernel line. Also, you'd have to add a FreeBSD section. I only have one user with a FreeBSD box, which he pretty much administers himself. I seem to recall there are issues using grub to boot it. Better read up on that.

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,

You'll have problems. Assuming Linux is on partitions 2,3, and 4 of your third hard drive (as you detail, below), your Linux boot partition is (hd2,1). You're telling grub that your kernel is on hda1 and / is on hdc4. How many drives do you have? On 02:48 Sun 12 Oct , Monah Baki wrote: >
