Dualboot Freebsd and Ubuntu 9.10 with Grub2

Hello,

I want to have a dualboot on my computer.:e For this purpose I have installed BSD on a primary partition and on another one I have installed Ubuntu. When I was installing FreeBSD, I have chosen the bootloader to be installed, too. After this I have insalled Linux and its loader grub2 in hd0.

This is what fdisk -l says:
Code:
matew@sodis:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Platte /dev/sda: 300.1 GByte, 300069052416 Byte
255 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 36481 Zylinder
Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065 × 512 = 8225280 Bytes
Disk identifier: 0xa8a8a8a8

   Gerät  boot.     Anfang        Ende     Blöcke   Id  System

/dev/sda4            7712       36481   231095025   83  Linux

I had made a mod to my grub.cfg and hoped it will boot my BSD, but it faild. Look in the attachement.

Can someone please help me to get through this?

Ok,

I ve found the mistake. There was a "=" missing in my BSD entry. Now I can start BSD booting, but it is stuck at the beginning. So what is wrong with it?

It says smth. like a few massages and "/boot/kernel/kernel text= 0x8924d8" than it stops booting. So is the loader missing? What is wrong?

I am using grub2 allready. how can I solve the problem?

looks like this but it still doesn´t boot freebsd.
