In more to less order of relevance:
- UFS2. It's needed for FreeBSD 5.x but UFS2 is being adopted in
NetBSD and probably OpenBSD, so it affects all them. [1]
- Fix to access FreeBSD's interfaces from grub-shell (userspace grub that
accesses /dev/ devices). [2]
- boot FreeBSD's kernel directly (instead of using /boot/loader)
[1] see http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-07/msg00111.html
and http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-09/msg00136.html
[2] see http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-06/msg00012.html
For all of these, it's nice to have them fixed for GRUB, but maybe it makes
more sense to actualy fix GRUB2 (aka PUPA).
