Linux side is squeeze not sid).

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I would suggest, if you don't get any more
suggestions in a few days (say over the weekend) you contact the
kFreeBSD port maintainers (debian-bsd?) or file a bug against grub.
Kind regards,

ls -l /boot/grub/ext2.mod shows that the file is there, with a size of
5892 bytes.

Here is the /boot/grub/grub.cfg. I am installing it with "grub-install
/dev/ad0" in kFreeBSD, which completes successfully.
Correction: I only get the "file not found" error repeated twice now.

The kernel and initrd are inside /boot on the root filesystem, no
separate boot partition.
