Comment 25 for bug 432254

I have just installed PC-BSD in the sda3 partition of a system with XP and Ubuntu 12.04 installed in it. Previously, update-grub detected FreeBSD and NetBSD installations in the same partition (BSD slice ada0s3).

However, update-grub failed to detect the PC-BSD partition. I tried creating a boot stanza in the 40_custom file, but update-grub failed to make that partition bootable.

This ('billy') is a different computer from my earlier comments - that system is pre-686 and won't run recent Ubuntus. However the disk is laid out similarly. I don't know if the PC-BSD installer installed a boot loader at the beginning of sda3.
