Didn't help, I'm afraid. I did check that linprocfs was correctly
mounted on /target/proc.
Unfortunately I can't quote the exact error I'm getting from
grub-install as it's all happening inside the installer. It did tell me
to run grub-probe with a set of arguments and send the result to the
GRUB bugs mailing list --- text attached at the end here.

It's reproducable:
mkfs.jfs /dev/sdd1
mkfs.ufs /dev/sdd1
wipefs /dev/sdd1
->
offset type

0x1055c ufs [filesystem]
0x8000 jfs [filesystem]
UUID: bbd31999-01a4-45eb-bb43-815beaf65a5c
That's on Linux Debian with the mkfs.ufs from ufsutils. (Which,
annoyingly, refuses to create a file system in an ordinary file so I had
to dig up a real USB stick to test with.)

I was expecting it to detect the /boot/kfreebsd-9.0-1-amd64.gz file and
create a menu entry to boot it directly --- it does that on Linux OSes.
