Error when booting to FreeBSD on second disk, only through 40_custom

[Adarsh Joshi]

Hi,****

** **

I am trying to boot FreeBSD using Grub2 and I get the following error****

** **

Booting a command list****

Error: out of partition.****

Error: out of partition.****

Error: only ELF kernel supports module.****

** **

Press any key to continue…****

** **

This is what I have in my 40_custom file, on my Ubuntu 10.10 server.****

** **

        insmod ufs2****

        set root='(hd1,msdos1)'****

        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4c0029f407b3cd1d****

        kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel****

        kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints****

        kfreebsd_module /boot/splash.bmp type=splash_image_data****

        set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:da1s1a****

** **

** **

The interesting thing is that I see (hd1) and (hd1,msdos1) when I do a ls
at the command prompt and I am even able to boot FreeBSD if try through the
command prompt. I get the error only when I try to boot through 40_custom
file.****

** **

I also have another version of FreeBSD on hd0 and I am able to boot into it
successfully through command prompt as well as 40_custom file.****

** **

I strongly feel set root='(hd1,msdos1)' is not enough when pointing to
another disk and I am probably missing something here. ****

Apologize if this has already been asked. I browsed the tutorials and tried
a million combinations but in vain.****

** **

By the way, the Grun version I am using is 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3.3****

** **

Thanks a lot****

** **

regards****
