Depends on which interface you prefer.  If you like booteasy (FreeBSD's
F1.. F2.. menu), move lilo into the bootblock of your Linux partition. 
bnooteasy will boot a Linux partition without any modifications.
 
If you like lilo, then configure it to boot the FreeBSD partition just
like a DOS partition.
