Good question; not sure about that one, since the BIOS may or may not count the EIDE channels as 0 and 1, and the SATA as 2 and 3. Needless to say, this little numbering scheme with grub has become confusing, esp with the introduction of new technology (SATA) >.>. Not sure how numbering would work

Incorrect. If you installed the filesystem on ad3s1, it should be: root (hd3,0,a) Thank you, I stand corrected. Not sure what I was thinking there... :) Many people goof up GRUB by accident because it's numbering system is zero-based and linux-like to a certain extent, so /dev/hda in Linux t

I tried this with (hd3,0,a) and (hd3,1,a). It didn't work. I got a message like: disk is not existing (don't remember the exact message) See below. If I understood right the hdd in Linux translates to ad3 in FreeBSD? > 1.) the hard drive and 2.) > the partition you installed FreeBSD on. h
