This is for my FreeBSD setup on the second hard drive, Red Hat being on 
the first. (From bitter experience, I don't like mixing file systems 
types on one drive). 

You'll have to read up on how grub looks at partitions if you run both 
on one drive, and it may take some experimenting as FreeBSD does not 
number partitions like Linux.

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,4)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda8
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
