Here's a copy of grub.cfg

In my reply #6 I gave you a link to the answer. The 40_custom entry for PC-BSD is given as:

menuentry "PC-BSD 8.1" {
insmod ufs2
set root=(hd0,4)
kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel
}

Based on your attached grub.cfg.txt, this is what you have in your 40_custom file:

menuentry "PC-BSD" {
set root='(hd1,1)'
chainloader +1

Based on that, I suggest modifying your 40_custom to read:

menuentry "PC-BSD 8.1" {
insmod ufs2
set root=(hd1,1)
kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel
}

I have tried that already as well. Still nothing.

This is the output from "sudo update-grub":

EDIT: I used GPT partitioning. Could that be the cause?

"sudo fdisk -l" gave me a little warning:

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
