Some updates:
I could see what happens if I try to boot the FreeBSD boot partition on the
hard drive using the Super Grub Disk with chainloader.
If that works, it would boot FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1, but I would see if it works.
That failed (invalid signature).
I could also try
kfreebsd /boot/kernel/
I could see what happens if I try to boot the FreeBSD boot partition on the
hard drive using the Super Grub Disk with chainloader.
If that works, it would boot FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1, but I would see if it works.
I could also try
kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel

This is what /cdrom/isolinux/isolinux.cfg shows for Super Grub2 Disk entry:
LABEL grubdisk
MENU LABEL SGD: Super Grub2 Disk
kernel memdisk
append initrd=/bootdisk/grubdisk.img floppy raw
This is from the latest SysRescCD beta.
Now I wonder how or if one can access a CD or DVD from GRUB2.

I finally tried again to track down that booting problem with FreeBSD via Super
Grub Disk with kfreebsd.
I also tried, unsuccessfully, the menu choice "Detect any operating system".
That failed for failure to find commands "freebsd" and "frebsd-loadenv".
In the latter command, "frebsd-loadenv"

Has there been a change in loader or kernel format recently?
Through FreeBSD 9.1 postrelease, I was able to boot with grub2 (Super Grub
Disk) on the System Rescue CD (sysresccd.org) by
set root=(hd0,gpt3)
insmod ufs2
kfreebsd /boot/loader
boot
but that no longer works.
That was the method sugg
