If you want a multi-boot including FreeBSD, there might be the need to
use GRUB2. That's because I switched back from GRUB legacy to GRUB2.
OTOH I can boot FreeBSD using the chainloader, so I guess I could use
any other bootloader too.
I'm not an expert, but many experts claim that GRUB is crap and better
code is Syslinux.
