Many tests fail when run as a non-root user on FreeBSD. The failures all amount to an inability to open files using grub_util_fd_open, because we cannot set the kern.geom.debugflags sysctl. This sysctl is indeed important to allow us to do such things as installing GRUB to the MBR, but if we need to do that and can't then we will get an error later. Enforcing it here is unnecessary and prevents otherwise perfectly reasonable operations.
This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information. The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>. More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual, accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2. Please look at the GRUB Wiki <http://grub.enbug.org> for testing procedures. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy.
