Something like the following should work in
"/boot/grub/menu.lst":

  title FreeBSD
  root (hd0,a)
  kernel /boot/loader

assuming that the 'a' partition is where the kernel resides.

There might be a catch: I'm not sure if GRUB understands
UFS2 filesystems, so you might need to ensure that the 'a'
partition is UFS1.
