using GRUB with FreeBSD gmirror

using GRUB with FreeBSD gmirror

[Brian R. Jones]

I'm trying to get GRUB1.97~beta4 working with FreeBSD 8.0 RC1 amd64 and 
gmirror, but I'm not sure the correct way to to a kernel module.  I'm 
guessing something like:

freebsd_module=/boot/kernel/geom_mirror.ko type=???

or

freebsd_module_elf=/boot/kernel/geom_mirror.ko

I'll probably have tried both of these before I get a response to this 
email, but what would be really useful is if someone could give me a clue as 
to where to look in the source for freebsd_whatever, as I have had no luck 
so far finding it.


and yes, I'll switch to beta5 and kfreebsd_whatever as soon as I get it working.

It's freebsd_module_elf /boot/kernel/geom_mirror.ko (no '=') but since
grub2 has no module dependency tracking you'll have to explicitly load
any dependencies as well
