Any ideas? Did you copy the stage1, stage2, and ufs2_stage1_5 files to /boot/grub on the CF card? As I understand it, grub needs these files to understand UFS2. Just a guess. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Grub and FreeBSD
In the last episode (Nov 04), Briggaman, Jason said: I'm trying to get Grub running on 5.3-rc2 but I keep getting Error 29: Disk write error. I'm trying to install it directly to the MBR. I can't use the floppy method because there is one. I can use the FreeBSD loader but I'd like to use grub. This is the only OS on the laptop. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. I always make a grub boot disk, then install onto the hard drive from that. I don't trust the userland grub CLI to get my devicenames right. But if you have only one OS, there's no need for grub at all.. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
