Please insert newlines in your outgoing mail; long lines are hard to
read for RFC compliant mailers.

The info docs that come with grub tell you exactly how to boot
FreeBSD from BIOS disk 0.

> /dev/da0s1 freebsd 4.5 slice(whole disk)

It looks like that's what you've got, unless you've got IDE disks you
aren't telling us about. Cut-n-pasted from the docs:

grub> root (hd0,a)
grub> kernel /boot/loader
grub> boot
