Help!
I have done this before with Lilo, and probbly GRUB, but right
now I cant boot a FreeBSD partition on my disk.
Here is the info in grub.conf:
# ======hda2============================================
title FreeBSD 5.1
root (hd0,1,a)
kernel /boot/loader
# ======hda1============================================
and here is the /sbin/fdisk /dev/hda
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 36.5 GB, 36529274880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4441 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/hda9 2085 4441 18932571 83 Linux
# ======================================================
As they always say: This used to work.
Now I am getting the error message:
Booting 'FreeBSD 5.1'
root (hd0,1,a)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
kernel /boot/loader
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
Press any key to continue...
Now a Partition type of 0xa5 *IS* a FreeBSD partition, so I
dont understand why grub doesnt understand it. Im looking at
the code, and it LOOKS like I might have to specify a BSD file
type rather than FreeBSD, but its not obvious what...
This RH9, grub-0.93-4
