I've found the answer to my own question :-).
In fact Grub sounds to not be able to mount the UFS of Dragonfly ;-(.
So, I must ask Grub to forward the control to an another bootloader.
I've solved by doing this:
- I install DFbsd on the partition 2 of my second disk WITH the
bootloader (on disk2)
- in Grub, I put the following config:
title DragonFlyBSD
rootnoverify (hd1)
chainbootloader +1
Not yet tested, but this should work even if DF is running on Hammer
