Is your root partition UFS2? GRUB does not understand UFS2 yet as far as
I know, so you may need to chainload as in the above example.

Yes, it's UFS2, so probably that was a reason. rootnoverify (hd0,1) fails:
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
Fortunately,
rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1
finally works ! Slices are:
swap 1 GB ad0s3b /home1 1 GB ad0s3d / 28 GB ad0s3a
Why 2, not 1 ? I'm a little bit confused.
Because (hd0,1) is only an example. For your setup on ad0s3, (hd0,2) is correct (I think, or should it be (hd0,3)?).
