Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-14+squeeze1
Severity: normal

Just a matter with documentation files: The sample entry for FreeBSD in the above mentioned file has wrong notation for the root device:
is now: "set root=(hd0,<n>,a)"
should be: "set root=(hd0,<n>)"

grub-common version 1.98
with my system, error displayed while booting: "no such partition"

With kindest regards and much thanks for your committed work
