I have two hard drives on my system. One has Debian and the other I just insstalled FreeBSD 7.1. My boot manager is Grub and I need to know how to create the entry for FreeBSD. I know the syntax is as shown below, but not sure about the "root" line. I've included the output from debian and fdisk.
Thanks,

I actually reinstalled FreeBSD and made sure that in the first fdisk screen, I set the FreeBSD line as bootable and am now able to boot into FreeBSD. Probably didn't originally set it as bootable.
