add to your file systems in your kernel config file:
options         "EXT2FS"

Don't forget to umount the linux FS *before* reboot or halt.
Otherwise, it will not umount / correctly and BSD will have to
check / on next reboot and Linux will need to check your linux FS.

I don't know too.
The docs say it is supported, but linux doesn't recognize the BSD
partitions (the subdivisions in the primary BSD slice).
