I tried this with (hd3,0,a) and (hd3,1,a).
It didn't work.

I got a message like: disk is not existing (don't remember the exact message)

If I understood right the hdd in Linux translates to ad3 in FreeBSD?

hdd/ad3 I used all the disk for FreeBSD and I used the automatic 
configuration.

Right now Linux can not read the FreeBSD disk. Does FreeBSD have its own 
filesystem?
Ans if it has its own filesystem how can grub read the /boot/loader in there?

Do I have to copy the loader on my Linux drive, configure it there so FreeBSD 
can then start?

Is there any other way to start the system on that disk? From the install-CD 
maybe?
