Fabian makes a good point but the goal is to be rid of GRUB.

I ran 'boot0cfg -Bv ad0' (Bootstrap and verbosity)

And on boot I get a more comforting:

F1 FreeBSD
F2 Linux
F3 ??

Looks perfect but unfortunately, F1, F2 and F3 are ingored until the 
keyboard buffer fills up <beep beep beep...> but fortunately it then 
goes to the boot prompt with beastie after a long timeout.

Thoughts?

Thanks to all who helped.

Michael.
