I haven't tried it under 3.0.3.

It tries extracting a config and kernel image from the first disk, just FYI.

pygrub uses a bunch of C library things in a filesystem library to
read the file(s) from the disk image. It also reads the partition
table via magic byte offsets and direct reads from python code. It is
all a bit evil :)

I'm not sure whether 3.0.3 came with the pygrub modules to read UFS.
It doesn't do this from kernel space - it does this in 100% userland
code. It may be possible to backport the UFS module for pygrub if
needed.

You may need to extract the kernel image + command line options and
boot the kernel using the non-pygrub method. Sorry.
