Title:
  10.10 BETA grub2 can't boot FreeBSD 8.1

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  It used to work, but after updating(upgrading) packages today, grub
  can't boot FreeBSD 8.1 anymore.

  My /etc/grub.d/40_custom file is

  menuentry "FreeBSD 8.1" {
  	insmod ufs2
  	set root=(hd0,2,a)
  	chainloader +1
  }

  and I did "sudo update-grub" and "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"

  This works well on 10.04 LTS, and on a first installation of 10.10
  BETA.

  But after today's updates(System->Administration->Update Manager),
  grub can't boot FreeBSD anymore

  with a message

  no such partition
  Press any key to continue...
