Title:
  Grub2 does not recognize FreeBSD partition

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  I've have FreeBSD installed on a PC. After installing Ubuntu 10.10
  with Grub2 FreeBSD was not found on the machine. I think this is a
  bug.

  After looking into the problem grub does not know the type of
  partition at all. ls (hd0,3) from grub prompt returns unknown file
  system.

  I had to manually add

  menuentry "FreeBSD (or GNU/kFreeBSD), direct boot" {
    	set root=(hd0,3)
        	chainloader +1
  }

  to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and update grub configuration. 
  After that I can boot into my BSD system.
