fixed openbsd 3.1

Hi first of all I am using grub 0.91, but it doesn't look like this stuff
has been fixed yet, so don't tell me I should have known this was fixed in
CVS or something.

I have been able to boot openbsd 3.1 by using the following commands:

root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

However it prints out Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa6. It would
be nice if a6 was recognized. BUT here's the strange part, if you are at
the grub screen and go into command mode, and type the above commands and
type boot, it will load the openbsd partition's bootloader, and start loading
the kernel but the boot will FAIL...! You have to actually run the commands
from the conf file.


Now quick question if someone doesn't mind answering, grub can't be hosted
from openbsd's ffs or windoze's ntfs, right? It has to be from fat or ext2?

Later
