Grub-PC menu additions.

[Weaver]

Hello all,

I've been trying to include an install of PC-BSDs RC2 into the grub
start up menu.
Initially I installed it on /dev/sda but when it didn't pick up the two
Debian installs, on the slave drive, and include them in the BSD boot
menu, I reversed the drives, uninstalled and reinstalled grub-pc
which recognised all installs . During the reinstall, the two Debian
installs and Memtest86+ are picked up and included in the boot menu,
but even though the 'unidentified linux install' on /dev/sdb is
recognised, nothing registers on the Debian grub-pc boot menu.

I have tried including two recommended boot entries for grub-pc,
supplied by the PC-BSD handbook and their wiki, but nothing works. The
menu entries in grub.config stay there after saving, I run update-grub
afterward to get them registered, but still nothing in the grub boot
menu.

The syntax looks all wrong in comparison to the grub layout, so I
thought that may be the problem.
Can anybody cast any light?
I know grub-pc recognises BSD kernels, so there must be a way.

Thanks for any time and trouble.
Regards,

Weaver.

Did you try with os-prober?

Are you sure you are booting with the GRUB2 you are editing? :-?
