Hi!

 I'm not using debian kfreebsd myself here (just plain FreeBSD), but
I noticed debian now has grub 2.00 in experimental so I checked if
the bugfix patch to boot (k)freebsd >= 9.1 amd64 kernels has been
merged and it seems to me it's not.  The original thread is here:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2012-July/068924.html

 The pastebin link for the grub maintainer's patch in that post
expired so I meanwhile also mirrored it here:

	http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/tmp/grub2-paste_180121.patch

 The upstream grub bzr commit link is:

	http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/grub/trunk/grub/revision/4556

and the original test iso to reproduce the bug I made is here:
