Re: Grub problem

[Joe Lewis]

Errors on the root will still occur.  Grub does that.  With BSD, you can 
set the menu option such as :

        root (hd0,2)
        chainloader +1
And it will load the MBR from the BSD partition, which will load the 
loader, which will load the kernel  (the best way, really).

Use the chainloader command to start FBSD, like this:

  root (hd0,2,a)
  chainloader +1
  boot

  Hi, i have installed in my computer FBSD 5.1, and RH9. The thing
  is, when i try to get GRUB to boot FBSD, i get the following error
  message: root (hd0,2,a) Filesystem type unknown, partition type
  0xa5 Then, in the GRUB-shell, i get this from auto-completion.
  Partition num: 2, [BSD sub-partitions immediately follow] BSD
  Partition num:'a', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD
  Partition num:'b', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD

  i'm guessing that it is because of this, it then grub> kernel
  /boot/loader ro root=/dev/hda3 Error 17: Cannot mount selected

  about this, and found no other reference. title FreeBSD 5.1 Release

  appreciate any input. Thanks. Alejandro, from BA, Argentina.
