:Hi Matt,
:
:So Ive tried booting Linux cd that uses GRUB and keyboard works fine. I also 
:tried FBSD 7.1 but it doesnt work in FreeBSD boot menu.
:
:So heres an idea. Whats involved in changing our boot loader to GRUB?. Solaris 
:has been using it by default. Maybe its time to dump the 20 year old 
:technology and get a fleshy colorful boot loader that works with current 
:technology. It would also definately differentiate DragonFly from FreeBSD.
:
:Cheers,
:Petr
    
	I have no idea what it would take.  We are heavily dependant on
	our loader infrastructure for module preloading, kernel environment
	variables, and transfering the PXE dataset from the loader to the
	kernel.
