If you have linux installed, it's easy to boot FBSD.
1. see what partition is on FBSD in Linux
2. add to /etc/lilo.conf following (in linux) :
other=/dev/hdb4			# if this is the FBSD partition seeing by linux
	label=FreeBSD		# nam it as you like
	table=/dev/hdb        #if FBSD is on the 2d hd
	loader=/boot/chain.b	#FBSD boot loader
3. in linux do a lilo -v
