Thanks for testing the patch.  But I honestly don't understand why it
does not work on your system.

I could reproduce the problem with trunk on your image by installing
grub (trunk) on a USB key and by running:

qemu -hda /dev/sdf -hdb /mnt/exchange/bsddisk.img
grub> insmod part_bsd
grub> ls (hd1,msdos2,bsd1)
        Partition hd1,msdos2,bsd1: Unknown filesystem


However, if I build the patched version (with bsdlabel_v3.diff) and
re-install grub on the USB key, I get:

qemu -hda /dev/sdf -hdb /mnt/exchange/bsddisk.img
grub> insmod part_bsd
grub> ls (hd1,msdos2,bsd1)
        Partition hd1,msdos2,bsd1: Filesystem type ufs2 - Last

This file is on a UFS2 filesystem.
