Assuming grub is functional, you might want to just keep it and add
another entry like this:

 title FreeBSD
  root (hd1,1,a)
  kernel /boot/loader
  savedefault

replacing (hd1,1,a) with whatever "find /boot/loader" at the grub CLI
returns.  If your grub doesn't have UFS support, then the find and
kernel commands won't work, and you'll have to chainload to the FreeBSD
slice's bootblock instead of using the "kernel" command.

If you really want booteasy back, boot into FreeBSD and run "boot0cfg
-B /dev/ad0" (or whatever your 1st hardrive's device is)
