Hmm.  Are you sure about the partition type 0xb?  It should be 0xa5
I believe.

I can't recall if DragonFly uses UFS2.  If so, you will need a very
recent version of grub to recognize it.  (I converted a FBSD4 system
to DragonFly, so I know I'm running the older UFS.)  Anyway grub
definitely does work for DragonFly exactly same as for FreeBSD.
