FWIW, if you want to dual boot Linux and FreeBSD, you're better off
using GRUB. That works fine. For example, put something like this in
your (Linux) /boot/grub/menu.lst:
# FreeBSD
title FreeBSD 7-CURRENT
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel /boot/loader
Note that Linux counts partitions differently. hd0,2,a is
/dev/ad0s3a.
