Thus, while I have managed to instal PC-BSD 9, on a computer that has other operating systems installed, I cannot boot into PC-BSD 9, as it is not found by, and, I cannot get the bootloader configured to find it with, GRUB. So, I am wondering whether, when PC-BSD 9.1 is released, it will incorporate GRUB so as to enable, in such a way, or otherwise cause, GRUB to find and offer PC-BSD as a boot option, as I have been unable to achieve that, and now have an inaccessible installation of PC-BSD 9. Also, I note that, from what I have read thus far about PC-BSD 9.1, it(Continue reading)
