My putback yesterday

Changeset: e46e4b2f0a03
6770866 GRUB/ZFS should require physical path or devid, but not both

breaks x86 UFS boot.

A fix is on its way and will be in daily.1203.
In the mean time, you can workaround by not using kernel$ and module$
GRUB commands in menu.lst.

i.e. change
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix
module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive

to (for 64bits)
kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix
module /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive

to (for 32bits)
kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive

Sorry about this!
