Note: I also placed this on the debian forum.

Hello,

I have 3 hard drives and installed FreeBSD on one of them today. During install, I chose to leave my Debian grub boot record untouched. I'm having trouble figuring out how to list the BSD drive in grub for boot up (basically what to add for the root line). Here is my menu.lst file now:

## ## End Default Options ##

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686
root (hd1,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/hde1 ro quiet
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686

Ok, after trial and error and many reboots the following entry worked:

title FreeBSD- 7.0 Release
root (hd2,0)
savedefault
