I'm dual booting Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD on my laptop. The
boot manager is Grub2 what probably applies to your
first-Xubuntu installation, too.
You need to put a section into "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" that
looks like this:
menuentry "FreeBSD" --class freebsd --class bsd --class os {
insmod ufs2
set root=hd0,9
echo 'Loading FreeBSD ...'
kfreebsd /boot/loader
}
(working here) or maybe
menuentry "FreeBSD" --class freebsd --class bsd --class os {
set root=(hd0,9)
echo 'Loading FreeBSD ...'
chainloader +1
}
Probably you have to put this into a file like
"/etc/grub.d/40_custom" and then run "grub-mkconfig".
Make a copy of your existing "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" first in
case you happen to spoil your whole installation.
Find the detailed information how to proceed by Google.
