I think just extending the ufs code in pygrub to understand changes since Solaris might be relatively straightforward. http://xenbits.xensource.com/hg/xen-unstable.hg/file/bca284f67702/tools/libfsimage/ufs/fsys_ufs.c (There are also plans that pygrub should run on NetBSD rump kernel, at which point using the actual NetBSD ffs driver might be possible, but thats away off).
