G'day,

I've done some hackery to teach pygrub about FreeBSD disklabels. I've
put the results online -
http://people.freebsd.org/~adrian/xen/bsd_pygrub/ .

There seems to be some issues with the pygrub/fsimage "UFS" code but
it almost certainly stems from it being Solaris specific. I'll worry
about extending that to properly work with FreeBSD UFS1/UFS2 when I
get some spare time.

Since my development/testing boxes here are just running CentOS 5.3
i386 with the shipped Xen package, I've provided the source file and
diff. The pygrub in the latest unstable tree snapshot looks basically
identical anyway.

Would this please be considered for inclusion into future Xen releases?

Thanks,


Adrian
