Hi

I'm already running Windows 2000 and Ubuntu Linux on my PC. I now want to try FreeBSD. How do I bring the FreeBSD option into the GRUB bootloader?

This are the entries of my /boot/grub/menu.lst. I had it done before I installed i386 NetBSD in the 8th partition of the 4th disk

title empty @ sdb8
root (hd3,7)
chainloader +1

It boots

Since then I replaced the i386 version with the AMD64 version

It still boots.

But you want FreeBSD, right.

I never come round to do the /boot/grub/menu.lst for them as I am only booting manually with a Grub floppy for

FreeBSD, OpenBSD, PcBSD, DraginflyBSD and DestopBSD

They are answer the call from Grub prompt

root (hdi,j)
chainloader +1
boot

where j=partition No., i=disk No and Grub counts from 0

To cut the above long story short, just boot it exactly like your Win2k.

Kind of embarrassingly simple, isn't it

Christmas comes early so if you want to push ahead to install Solaris and DarwinX86, the above lines still apply!
