Comment 15 for bug 432254

I put the following in "40_custom" and then ran update-grub:

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "freebsd" {
       set root=(hd0,8)
      chainloader +1
      boot
}

On rebooting, I selected the 'freebsd' entry in the grub menu.

The result was the message "error: no loaded kernel".

My fstab entry for BSD's root partition is

##bsd partition(s)
## bsd: /dev/ad0s2a
/dev/sda8 /mnt/bsdroot ufs ro,ufstype=ufs2 0 0

and that works well.

Perhaps I have to specify the FreeBSD loader as a kernel, or address
the root partition more like the way one does it in legacy GRUB?
