I had tried with both the latest release and the latest SVN, the only  
issue I can think of is that I was trying this under Linux and not  
under FreeBSD.

Running this under FreeBSD gets me no farther unfortunately.
grub-probe seems to think all my drives are zero-sized and can't  
determine a mapping between ad1 and hd1

[root@ /mnt/stick]# grub-probe -v /dev/ad1
grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 0
grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 0
grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 0
grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 0
error: out of disk
grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 0
grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 0
grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 0
grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 0
grub-probe: info: changing current directory to /dev
grub-probe: info: changing current directory to fd
grub-probe: info: changing current directory to net
grub-probe: info: changing current directory to iso9660
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /dev/ad1.



is any of this doc'd anywhere?
