I had some trouble with this myself and tried all sorts of things.
Grub2 wouldn't find it.
I tried GAG:

...which is very good and detects everything, but would only boot PC-BSD.

The only thing I haven't tried is something somebody suggested had worked
for them on another forum, and that was to downgrade to Grub-Legacy.
Apparently that works.
This I haven't tried, so I give no guarantee.

I booted FreeBSD from Debian's GRUB2 with no problem, also NetBSD. Ifyou still need the link, let me know.
