9.0-RELEASE and Grub2 problem

I have a partition where FreeBSD resides since 8-CURRENT (till 9-PRERELEASE). There is some more stuff on this disk and on another one. Grub2 perfectly managed all the system. Seeing RELEASE on FTP I decided finally to make clean install of 9-RELEASE 64bit.

First I was shocked by the new installer... but it's separate topic. Finally I managed to install 9-RELEASE and then I just couldn't boot it! The entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom was working fine for a long time:
Code:
menuentry "FreeBSD-9" {
root=(hd0,2,a)
chainloader +1
}
I installed on the same partition (had to delete it though) and it's still ada0s2. I cannot figure out what happened. Noticed that it's only 2 partitions now (like in Lunux): root and swap. But anyway the root is still ada0s2a. And for Grub2 it's hd0,2,a.

Am I alone with such problem or others are also experiencing this? Any help highly appreciated.
 
Looks like 9.0 (new bsdinstall) installs GPT by default. Since my other installations use MBR (so Grub2 was on MBR) I was unable to boot GPT installation of FreeBSD. Since I cannot exist without FreeBSD I just installed old snapshot of 9-CURRENT (still sysinstall and MBR) and updated it to 9-STABLE...for now. :)
