10_xxx are scripts that output menuentry for a specific os. For example, for 10_freebsd, you first check for boot files like /boot/loader and /boot/kernel/kernel, if they exist, then the system could be freebsd. Then, you output the menuentry to load this os. You can check 10_linux to see how to write it. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
