No, it turned out to be the disklabel which had changed (and I don't
know what changed it, but I didn't do it myself).

All I have to do is re-label that slice using DragonFly and grub can
use it and DFly can mount it again.  But -- then FreeBSD-current can't
use the slice :o(  I can then use FreeBSD to re-label the slice and
I'm back to where I started.  What a PIA.

It was a bad move on FBSD's part to make themselves incompatible with
grub, I think.
