In case you have just one disk, it's very common, it's connected as hda (1.ide , master)
What's your reason to connect it as hdc (2.ide,master) ? Just to get in troubles :-) ?
Boot partition shoud be under 1024 cylider due to BIOS limits (so usually it sits
on hda1, but NOT hdc1).

You'll have problems. Assuming Linux is on partitions 2,3, and 4 of your third hard drive (as you detail, below), your Linux boot partition is (hd2,1). You're telling grub that your kernel is on hda1 and / is on hdc4. How many drives do you have?

Thanks.

Now my disk layout is:

hdc1 Freebsd
hdc2 Linux (boot)
hdc3 Linux (swap)
hdc4 Linux (root)

I'm planning on using grub

If my grub.conf was:

title=genkernel
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hdc4
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r7

title=freebsd
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/loader

I should have no problems, correct??

Thanks
