Originally, this would have been: |

|
| 11 |
root(hd0,5) |

while I have not changed this line. |

/boot is part of the / heirarchy, which is on /dev/hda6 assuming |
| 20 |
the disk is an IDE disk in the laptop. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
What I have is: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
IDE: FreeBSD, with FreeBSD MBR |
| 25 |
USB enclosure: |
| 26 |
first 2 partitions Windows |
| 27 |
hda5 - SWAP |
| 28 |
hda6 - / |
| 29 |
hda7 - /var |
| 30 |
hda8 - /usr |
| 31 |
hda9 - /tmp |
| 32 |
hda10 - /usr/src |
| 33 |
hda11 - /usr/portage |
| 34 |
hda12 - /home |
| 35 |
GRUB is instaled in MBR. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Now, on boot, the FreeBSD bootloader gets me to the GRUB loader on |
| 38 |
the USB drive. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
What I believe I need to know is how to remap the partitions on the |
| 41 |
original IDE drive to SCSI partitions, because that drive is now in the USB |
| 42 |
enclosure. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Also, I need to know how to "change" the Windows partition so that |
| 45 |
Windows believe it is the first disk, otherwise it will not boot. |
