Perhaps you were using something like "root=(hd0,2)" instead of
"root=(hd0,2,a)" ?
GRUB cannot use the whole BSD partition of type 0xa5 as a filesystem.
You should point it to a subpartition (I'm confused with the "slices" and
"disklabels", but hopefully you understand what I mean).
GRUB is only at fault because the completion for BSD subpartitions doesn't
work. But you can enter the command without using <TAB>, which behaves
incorrectly in this case.
I think that the documentation for GRUB should mention this bug.
