I remember me fixing OpenBSD support in GRUB. It required a lot of time. I
had to install OpenBSD, learn its basics, download and compile the code. I
spent much time
Hello!
But I'd like to point out that GRUB is _not_ a boot selector. What
is his definition of "boot selector"?
It's a software that gives you choice between different boot devices and
OS'es. OS/2 bootloader is a typical example. Although it's native for
OS/2, you cannot select the kernel
BSD kernel with the OpenBSD
loader. I do this by using the chainloader function :
title=OpenBSD 2.6
root=(hd0,1,a)
chainloader +1
Grub transfers the control to the OpenBSD loader installed in the
MBR of the OpenBSD partition.
I use the same trick with FreeBSD

Of course, I can scan for "OpenBSD" in the whole kernel, but what if a
FreeBSD kernel will contain something like "ported from OpenBSD by ..." ?

Grub will load release version 2.6, which was the latest release, but it
will not boot latest current version of the kernel. BSD complains that the
boot loader is too old.
