 ..so you probably never saw my post about the updated super grub disk iso:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2013-August/074711.html

 I.e. they fixed the kfreebsd misspelling and the grub 2.00 bug that
prevented it from booting a 9.1+ kernel directly, so the autodetection
now has better chances of working.  (They even added loader to the
autodetection so you can also `e'dit that entry and change loader to
loaderae to test this.)

 HTH, :)
