Dual booting Free BSD 6 and Slackware

Hallo all:

So a few days ago I kind of went nuts and spent 2,000 dollars. FreeBsdmall and 
BSDmall.... And of course store.slackware.com Needless to say they love it.

Well, after spending more than 400 dollars alone on Free BSD stuff I decided 
to set up a box with slackware and Free BSD.

Here is a question which may or may not be simple:

/boot/vmlinuz

Is the boot file you add to lilo

What is the equiv of this in Free BSD? /boot/kernel doesn't seem to work on 
lilo and I'd really like to use it for booting and I've done it before, that 
and Free BSD didn't want to boot Linux at first (Was my fault) so does anyone 
know... Actually I'm assuming you do know because that's why I asked here 
instead, but anyway, I've been reading through the books I bought, and it 
doesn't mention anything like "Ok, in Linux it's /boot/vmlinuz, in Free BSD 
it's...."

Any help is appreciated, or a link that explains what to add.
