Hi,

Wouter's workaround for bug #681227 now requires that GRUB's target is a
block device (and was amended to allow dummy targets as well) :

> # workaround for #681227
> if [ ! -b $bootdev -a $bootdev != dummy ]; then
>         continue
> fi

But this is still not true at least for IDE devices on kfreebsd-9 (e.g.
/dev/ada0) which are character devices.  As such, this change breaks the
GRUB step in d-i.
