FreeBSD and GRUB?

Hey List-
I installed Grub from ports (cvsup'ed from tonight) and can't quite get her
working.
I am running 4.8rel.
I copied in the various *stage file into /boot/grub . I created a grub.conf
and sym-linked menu.lst to it and made everything 444.
My grub.conf looks like this:
default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,2,a)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=FreeBSD
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel (hd0,2,a)/boot/loader
title=WinBlows_XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I have run:
tcsh# grub
grub> root(hd0,2,a)
grub> setup(hd0)
grub> quit
It says it installed fine, etc.... However when I reboot I just get dropped to
the grub> prompt. So it's in the MBR.
I can then manually type:
grub> root (hd0,2,a)
grub> kernel (hd0,2,a)/boot/loader
grub> boot
and it works all fine and dandy. However I would like the menu to come up :)
Would the splashimage do that? In my experience, the Splash Image being
screwed up just causes it to use it's default text layout.
Thanks for any hints.
Henrik
