dual boot; Linux, FreeBSD

[Hunter Fuller]

Grub does well for me. Set it up for Linux and then set it up for  
BSD, making sure the UFS driver's in there. Here's my command-list  
for booting FBSD.

root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /boot/loader
boot

I might have the spacing wrong, I'm doing it from memory, but the  
data's all there.
