Try

  root (dc0)
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/nftla ro

for a filesystem on top of /dev/nftla or

  root (dc0,0)
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ntla1

for one on top of /dev/nftla1.  The first line may point to a different 
partition that would hold the kernel image.  Such separation allows to 
let GRUB boot a kernel off an ext2 partition.  The kernel in turn can 
mount another ext3 partition under "/".  GRUB is not aware of ext3.
