I've got SuSE 9.0 with GRUB as bootloader and want to also boot FreeBSD. Did the install of FreeBSD into /dev/hda3 and added this to menu.lst:

title FreeBSD 5.1 root (hd0,2,a) kernel /boot/loader

But I get "filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xA5. Error 17: cannot mount selected partition". Do I need another "stage_1_5" loader for the FreeBSD filesystem?

I've the following entry for booting NetBSD on my box also running 9.0 with grub:

title NetBSD root (hd0,5,a) chainloader +1

This is what I finally had to do to get it to work: title FreeBSD 5.1 rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1 Thanks for all the interesting suggestions. -- ==================================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ==================================================================== I think I am the product of three types of influences: the Vienna School for the language, Stravinsky and Bartok for the rhythmic impluse, and Debussy and Ravel for their preoccupation with sound. ==================================================================== -Pierre Boulez, 1998 ====================================================================
