Hi Marco,
I am using lilo (a 'don't fix what isn't broken' thing), so for that
configuration I'm using
other=/dev/hdb3
table=/dev/hdb
label=FreeBSD-5.3
in /etc/lilo.conf, but I found an old entry for grub in
/boot/grub/menu.lst as well:
title FreeBSD 4.9
root (hd0,1,a)
kernel /boot/loader
which you would install with something like 'grub-install /dev/hda' or
some other partition. As far as I remember, when installing FreeBSD, you
can opt for not doing any changes to the boot process. After the
installation you just have to do the changes to your Linux boot manager.
Hth,
