I have several installations of FreeBSD both on hard-drive GUID partitions and USB sticks.

On the USB sticks, I have three partitions: boot, root and swap, GPT-partitioned.  I use gpart to install bootcode on first partition.

On the hard drives, I don't want to be limited to FreeBSD, want more than one FreeBSD version, plus Linux.

There, I use grub2 from a USB-stick installation of System Rescue CD, adding my own grub2 image to the syslinux menu.

Then,

set root=(hd1,gpt4) # or whatever the actual partition is
insmod ufs2
kfreebsd /boot/loader
boot
