Subject: GRUB does not boot FreeBSD after installworld ...

HI,

i have updatete to 6.1-PRERELEASE and after the "installworld" step GRUB
is unable to boot FreeBSD.

Perhaps it wasn't the installworld step that caused this...
The boot record isn't touched...

I did a reboot after "installkernel" so i know the 6.1-PRE kernel was
able to boot, and GRUB did not complain too.
So whatelse could have changed?

After i did the installworld and rebooted the GRUB error was:

23 : Error while parsing number

I have reinstalled the standard FreeBSD loader for now.

Booting with a GRUB boot-floppy i am able to start either XP or Linux
but trying to start FreeBSD the system just reboots, no errormessage.

I have already tried to install GRUB to MBR again, but no go, the system
just reboots if i try to start FreeBSD.

Any ideas?

How are you installing grub? From floppy?

yes, booting from grub-floppy

root (hd0,1,a)
kernel /boot/loader
setup (hd0)

no error up to here!
but typing "boot" does not boot, it reboots the system without
errormessage.
Booting XP or Linux works with the grub-floppy by just typing the root
and kernel line from menu.lst and "boot"

[auge@seth ~]% cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
default 0
timeout 2

title FreeBSD --> The Power to Serve
root (hd0,1,a)
kernel /boot/loader

title Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel root=/dev/hda3

title Windoof --> The eXPerience
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

What are your configuration files?
menu.lst what else?

Thanks,
--> auge
