Booting PC-BSD

[Megadeth]

I use Gentoo as my main operating system. I've had FreeBSD on this machine before and I could boot into it too with GRUB. I tried the same configuration for PC-BSD, but it always returned an error. How does the PC-BSD partition scheme look like? It's installed on my first partition, but I think it's an issue with the slices or something.

This is my Grub.conf

default 0
timeout 30

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-r4 [AMD]64
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.17-gentoo-r4 vga=0x31B video=vesafb:mt$
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.17-gentoo-r4

title=PC-BSD
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /boot/loader

First I am far from an exoert but here are somethings you may try
At the grub menu type c, which will take you command prompt.
grub>

find /boot/loader

I think will show you the root for your pcbsd as seen by grub.
You can also do grub>

root (hdo,o,a)

and it will let you know if it in deed is a bsd partition.
Also I think if you do dmesg in console you may find some useful info in the output, don't know all the commands so just dmesg may give you LOTS of stuff.
Hope some of this help :idea:

In your code should be 0(zero) instead of o.

root (hd0,0,a)

That is a big correct. That will work much better :!:
Thanks for catching that. ops:
