Uggh, I should have sent the same report twice, so I close
this report. I'm sorry!

GRUB cannot boot FreeBSD 3.4 or later directly. That's because GRUB
assumes the old booting protocol, and FreeBSD kernel complains of it.
Even though you can work around the problem by booting /boot/loader or
chainloading the boot loader of FreeBSD, that's undesirable, because
you cannot control how to boot FreeBSD, including netboot.
