I installed PC-BSD on a spare harddrive. I didn't opt for a bootloader
since I have multiple OS'es installed (Gentoo, Debian etc.). Therefor I
use GRUB to boot PC-BSD.
Before I installed PC-BSD I had FreeBSD installed on the same partition
which booted fine. I replaced FreeBSD with PC-BSD and unfortunately GRUB
can't find it's partition. Anyone has idea how I can fix this? Here's
some relevant information:
My GRUB entry:
> title FreeBSD 7.0
> root (hd2,a)
> kernel /boot/loader
The disk where PC-BSD is installed:
> Disk /dev/sdi: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
> Disk identifier: 0x8f8000b1
>
> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
> /dev/sdi1 * 1 14358 115330603+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
> /dev/sdi2 14359 16908 20478976 7 HPFS/NTFS
> Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
> /dev/sdi3 16908 19457 20477803+ a5 FreeBSD
> Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
