The exact documentation pointers are: info --node '(grub)Configuration' info --node '(grub)NetBSD' info --node '(grub)root' You need to edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst (as root), and add before the ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST line or after the ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST line a new menu entry along the lines of: title My shiny new NetBSD install root (hd0,18,a) kernel --type=netbsd /path/to/the-netbsd-kernel In (hd0,a): 0 is the number of the hard drive (starting from 0) on which the NetBSD kernel is installed. If you have only one drive, use 0. 18 is the number of the partition NetBSD is installed in; 0 to 3 for primary partitions and 4 and above for logical partititions. You can probably see which partition NetBSD is installed on from the output of "fdisk -l /dev/_the_hard_disk_where_NetBSD_is_installed". The "a" part is the subpartition in the BSD label; you probably chose it during the NetBSD install or you can get it in some way I don't know from the NetBSD command prompt. You may have more luck finding someone more knowledgeable about NetBSD-and-grub on http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub Failing that, you may have to cobble together information from different sources (such as a NetBSD user list and [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]). -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
