Hi all,
BSD is on a primary so that's not the issue.
When i added this to grub.cfg it puts the bsd option in my grub at bootup, but when i select it i get the error "invalid signature." I tried replacing msdos1 with msdos3 since my bsd is on the third primary partition, but same result. I have checked the syntax several times. Does this error have to do with my placement within the file (near the end before memtest) or another error? Many thanks! peace -bill

To boot FreeBSD I needed to add a chainloader to the Linux's grub.cfg.
menuentry "FreeBSD"{ set root=(hd0,msdos1) chainloader +1 }
Note, at least FreeBSD needs to be on a primary or GPT partition.
You might have to mark the partition as active/bootable and you might have to hide other partitions. It all depends on what the bsd is expecting to find in regards to partitions. I've never used it so I can't be of much help besides guesses. -- Mauro Santos
