   Hi, i have installed in my computer FBSD 5.1, and RH9. The thing is,
   when i try to get GRUB to boot FBSD, i get the following error
   message: root (hd0,2,a) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
   Then, in the GRUB-shell, i get this from auto-completion. Partition
   num: 2, [BSD sub-partitions immediately follow] BSD Partition num:
   'a', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num:
   'b', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num:
   'd', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num:
   'e', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 BSD Partition num:
   'f', Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 And i'm guessing
   that it is because of this, it then grub> kernel /boot/loader ro
   root=/dev/hda3 Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition This is an
   extract of my grub.conf. I looked for info about this, and found no
   other reference. title FreeBSD 5.1 Release root (hd0,2,a) kernel
   /boot/loader ro root=/dev/hda3 I will appreciate any input. Thanks.
