I think you want something like

title FreeBSD 5.x
rootnoverify
root (hd0,2,c)  ## or e or something I think c tells it to maunt the 
whole slice... or is it e << I think it is e
chainloader +1  ## this is the new way I think.  I think kernel 
/boot/loader is old (but prolly still works)

cheers,
reed
