Ok, found the problem. Its the newfs. The problem is GRUB cannot recognize ufs2
file systems created by newfs. The GRUB can recognize ufs2 file systems created
by sysinstall.
I have even tried "newfs -O 2 -U /dev/ad2s1a", the GRUB still cannot recognize
ufs2 file systems.
Now the question is, how to properly create a ufs2 file system manually? Is it
by newfs?
Also appreciate if someone could let me know where does it create ufs2 file
systems in sysinstall.
Best regards
Unga
