grub has problems with the ufs2 filesystem that comes with fbsd5*. However, manually editing the menu.lst in /boot/grub (I think) should work. check the entry it makes when you have only one disk, and then change the hd0,x to hd1,x where x is the partiion number (grub counts from 0). hth patrick. > ken > > > --------------------------------------------- > This service is hosted on the Infocom network > http://www.infocom.co.ug -- patrick. --------------------------------------------- This service is hosted on the Infocom network http://www.infocom.co.ug
