I have Grub booting just from 1 disk, not 2, but with 4 different partitions.
Here's my menu.lst as installed by Suse 9.2. I just moved the FreeBSD lines up 
to the first place ;-). The lines to boot FreeBSD from the Linux Grub version 
I found with a "info grub" under Suse. There is a chapter on booting other 
OS'es. But it boots Windows XP, FreeBSD and Suse without any problem here.
