Adding FBSD to existing GRUB

I have a multiboot machine with Linux and FBSD currently set up as
follows:

/dev/hda1 5GB Linux SUSE root partition from 0 -652
/dev/hda2 40.5GB Extended partition from 653 - 5945
/dev/hda3 19.5GB FreeBSD partition from 5946 -8494
/dev/hda5 5GB /usr partition for SUSE from 653 - 1305
/dev/hda6 15GB /home partition for SUSE from 1306 - 3264
/dev/hda7 1 GB swap from 3265 - 3395
/dev/hda8 19.5GB linux partition for Libranet from 3396 - 5945

I tried adding the following to my /etc/fstab, but it would not boot
(saying unsupported file type):

title FreeBSD 5.2.1
    root (hd0,2,a)
    kernel /boot/loader

Is the above misentered or is there something else to consider?

Thanks.
