Yeah, fbsd7 had the classes compiled in. I couldn't boot my systems after upgrading to 8 without loading (some of) the aforementioned modules. I had the same error message as you, so I really think it is related. I have never used grub2, so maybe it is related to grub2 not loading the modules in time. Have you tried chainloading /boot/loader? is that available at all in current versions (sorry, I am not up2date)?
