What is before the file not found? Does it give a hint as to which file it 
did not found? Or what it was trying to do before printing the error 
message? I suggest you to lookup whether GRUB 2 can run with more 
verbosity if not.


In GRUB console what does

find /boot

find /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64

find /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64

say?


Also

find /etc/debian_version

find /boot/grub/core.img

find /boot/grub/ext2.mod


On GRUB console does

insmod ext2.mod

work?



If you can´t get it to work easily, then you may try the other way around: 
Install GRUB on the Linux side and copy over the menu entry for kFreeBSD 
to it.
