What I need basically is where to put files (eg. stage1, stage2 and *_stage1_5 of GRUB1 in /boot/grub/.) and a sample configuration file. Anyway meanwhile I'll try to find some documentation.

I think these kinds of questions should probably go to the GNU GRUB
folks though, don't you think?  I don't mean to sound like I'm stepping
on your efforts, but the sysutils/grub port has very little to it
(meaning, issues/problems of this type should very likely be issues with
GRUB itself and not with the port or FreeBSD).

It would be really cool if since you're working on getting GRUB2
working, you could make a port for it, e.g. sysutils/grub2.  :-)
