ot :stuck in GRUB

2011-09-27 Thread Jean-Paul Natola

Hi all,


A Friend of mine has some version of either *nux or bsd installed (he does not 
even know for sure), turns out he clicked yes for some updates to install and 
upon restarting  he now winds up at GRUB , I told him to type boot and it 
reports  kernel must loaded prior to booting

I really have no  time to get out there, so he shipped me his hard  drive which 
I should be receiving today or tomorrow. It *seems* to me  the update may have 
corrupted some type of conf file, am I on the right track here? Does anyone 
have any suggestion, since its an old friend I can't charge him, but nor do I 
want to spend a significant amount of time on it.


TIA

GRUB is the boot program for several versions of Linux, not for FreeBSD.

For a useful answer, ask where Linux weenies hang out, not here.

Or even better, just google for the text of the error message.

R's,
John

But many people also use it to boot FreeBSD in multi-boot situations. 
The pkg-message in sysutils/grub and sysutils/grub2 might help.
