Hello.

At about the start of March, this year, I posted messages on this list 
and on the PC-BSD list, asking about trying to get PC-BSD running with 
GRUB on a multi-boot system, as I had been unable to get PC-BSD 9.0 
working with GRUB.

I got no response on this list.

With that, and, what I got from the PC-BSD list, I assumed that PC-BSD 
and GRUB are incompatible with each other.

I could be wrong in that deduction, but I have not found informnation 
otherwise.
