The reason for my concern about this was that I have some systems which are multiboot, including FreeBSD in particular - while this is well-documented for legacy Grub, it's not so much so for OSes like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc. I filed a separate bug, Bug #432254: FreeBSD not detected by os-prober, about this. I did get it working for FreeBSD, but apparently this is not documented still. Not having the other two BSD variants, I don't know if they are supported. My systems with this kind of configuration are test systems for Karmic etc., so I'm trying to make good use of a limited resource.
