I recently installed Linux Mint 10 (release candidate) to replace the Linux OS I had been using, Lubuntu 10.04. I was booting via GRUB 2 on the Lubuntu partition and chainloading FreeBSD with this appellation to /etc/grub.d/40_custom
This worked fine in Lubuntu (and Mint 9), but now I can't see an entry for FreeBSD on my GRUB menu. Does anyone have an idea why this stopped working?
Also, looking around for a solution, I noticed most people left out the "a" in
And I realized I'm not even sure what the "a" does! I just copied my entry from a FreeBSD forum post. If anyone can provide more information, I am very curious about the "a":stud
Code:
menuentry "FreeBSD" {
set root=(hd0,1,a)
chainloader +1
