FWIW, if you want to dual boot Linux and FreeBSD, you're better off
using GRUB.  That works fine.  For example, put something like this in
your (Linux) /boot/grub/menu.lst:

  # FreeBSD
  title		FreeBSD 7-CURRENT
  root		(hd0,2,a)
  kernel	/boot/loader

Note that Linux counts partitions differently.  hd0,2,a is
/dev/ad0s3a.
