I'm actually using a GRUB floppy, but this is what I type in to boot 
freeBSD (it's on the second IDE drive in my system)

GRUB> root (hd1,0)
GRUB> chainloder +1
GRUB> boot

in the first line, (hd1,0) refers to the HDD and the partition, in that 
order. So if you have only one drive, and BSD is on the second partiton, 
for example, you'd use "root (hd0,1)"

Hope this helps...

Jonathan
