Actually I have given up on this issue, for all practical purposes. I just installed 9.04 first, then did the online update with Update Manager - which is advertised NOT to replace the legacy GRUB with GRUB 2. The procedure is described here: http://
I do intend to upgrade another system soon, using this procedure.
I would like to hear if the problem of booting FreeBSD (or NetBSD or OpenBSD etc.) from Linux's GRUB 2 has been solved. I have seen references online to a 10_freebsd script, presumably to be put in /etc/grub.d for rebuilding GRUB 2, but I have not actually seen such a file.
Also, there needs to be a clear way to select the legacy GRUB when doing a fresh install of Karmic.
