Having trouble adding 7.0 to GRUB 0.97
As stated in the title I'm trying to add FreeBSD 7.0 to my GRUB 0.97 list. My current attempt is:
Code:
title FreeBSD root (hd0,2a) kernel /boot/loader savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 # /dev/sda3 5991 7296 10490445 83 Linux Any help on fixing this would be much appreciated. |

root (hd0,2,a)
Although, depending on the distribution of GRUB(*1_5 files) you should not use the "a" label descriptor. In all cases, wether labels ere/are not recognized, tje hard drive descriptor (hd0,2) is sufficient to boot from chainloader +1 Remove the "a" or put a comma before the "a".

Yeah, the missing comma is the culprit. Also, GRUB 0.97 is the latest version that's anywhere near stable. GRUB 2 is horribly unstable and unpredictable.
