The Solaris version of Grub has been modified from the original code, but has
never been checked back in the original source tree, for the Solaris
modifications, I am not sure why!, it defeats the purpose of open source. plus
there are a lot of extra features now present in the new versions of grub, one
passable explanation is that not enough man hours to do regression testing.
this causes incompatibilities with main source tree of Grub!!

You need to add ufs to the Linux kernel configure(ation)
File Systems --->
Miscellaneous Filesystems --->
<*> UFS file system support
Also: UFS has some special mount options. (See MAN Mount 8 for more
information) If the partition is UFS1 (FreeBSD < 5) then the option
ufstype=44bsd should be included. If the partition is UFS2 then the option
ufstype=ufs2 should be used.
mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/hda1 /mnt/point
As for Linux to be able to read ZFS zfs-fuse URL is
