The script does not detect BSDs automatically. Your setup looks correct, 
but you need to create a file in /etc/grub.d and follow the instructions 
as per 
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/16886/set-up-grub2-to-boot-freebsd-using-either-ubuntu-tools-or-liveusb-to-find-what-p 
. A simple Google search for "grub2 freebsd" would have gotten you there 
as well ;)

Best,
