Dear folks,
I have succeded in installing Fedora 17 nightly build. I have successfully added the updates as of yesterday and today. I cannot add FreeBSD entry to the grub2 configuration. I have read several howto's but only Fedora and two entries for windows show up:
[root at acer-aspire-1 grub.d]# cat 40_custom
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menentry "FreeBSD 9.0" {
insmod part_msdos
set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
chainloader +1
}
[root at acer-aspire-1 grub.d]# grep menuentry /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then
menuentry_id_option="--id"
menuentry_id_option=""
export menuentry_id_option
menuentry 'Fedora Linux' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-252c5a55-c4ed-43d2-b24c-b1c94385a4fc' {
submenu 'Advanced options for Fedora Linux' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-252c5a55-c4ed-43d2-b24c-b1c94385a4fc' {
menuentry 'Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.3.1-3.fc17.i686' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.3.1-3.fc17.i686-advanced-252c5a55-c4ed-43d2-b24c-b1c94385a4fc' {

I have read that adding FreeBSD entry to 40_custom in /etc/grub.d/ and running ./40_custom will add the entry to grub.cfg, but it does not do it, it appears to be in /etc/grub.cfg, but the entry is not there :(
I can boot FreeBSD by typing c at the menu, and
grub> set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
grub> chainloader +1
grub> boot
and it would work, but I would prefer to have the entry and avoid doing this every time. I have run
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
It does nothing to add the entry. I have looked here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2
but am at the same place. I also want to remove rhgb and quiet from the grub entry, I did it manually in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg but running the command above restored it back :(
I appreciate any pointers to getting this fixed. If it were not for the FreeBSD entry, I cannot happily triple boot on this machine :(
Regards,
Antonio
