I finally got the boot into FreeBSD to work. Here's what I put in
40_custom before running update-grub:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0

Actually, the problem of *detection* of FreeBSD or other BSD systems is
NOT solved yet, but at least we know how to set up a boot selection for
FreeBSD manually.

On my initial attempt to do this, I somehow made the system unbootable.
I have a working installation with the legacy GRUB, but I don't want
to touch that because I am in the middle of doing some work with the
FreeBSD on that system and don't want that to be unbootable.
So I've reinstalled
Who said os-prober was an interim solution? I see no reason why grub2
should reimplement all the work os-prober has done so far.
(Also, I don't know what ubuntu-bootloader-manager is, but it's not how
we manage bugs on the Ubuntu grub2 package ...)

I confirmed this and duplicated a bug i filed to this one. I have Karmic
alpha 6 installed on a system that also has Kubuntu, PC-BSD and ReactOS
installed with more OSs to come.
Grub2 or shall i say os-prober did not detect ReactOS nor PC-BSD.
Would be awesome if this can be fixed.

I added Grub as affected by this too since im not really sure this is
only os-prober related. As i understand it os-prober is only an interim
solution for what Grub2 should be able to handle on its own.

I just updated the above Karmic installation (which uses the legacy GRUB
1) and noticed an update of os-prober. In this contact (without GRUB 2
installed) it produces no screen output when run. I would assume this
program requires that GRUB 2 is installed, though.

os-prober doesn't require that GRUB 2 is installed - it's a standalone
program, in fact not originally written for use with GRUB 2 at all,
which just needs to be run as root. If it's producing no output, it's
probably because it didn't detect anything (there'll be verbose output
in syslog).

FreeBSD is installed in one or more primary partitions, which FreeBSD
refers to as 'slices'. Then the slices are broken down into partitions,
identified by lower-case letters. This subdivision is different from the
usual DOS/Windows/IBM scheme of dividing extended partitions.
In Linux fdisk, a

I would suggest downloading the boot-only mini-CD image from here:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/7.2/
and doing a minimal install after booting from that (it will allow you
to install from an FTP site, such as that one). That will take up a
whole primary partition ('slice').
Actually I have given up on this issue, for all practical purposes. I
just installed 9.04 first, then did the online update with Update
Manager - which is advertised NOT to replace the legacy GRUB with GRUB
2. The procedure is described here:

Note that I can boot into Ubuntu or FreeBSD by
1) use the Windows NT Pro tools to replace the Windows MBR
2) use Linux (Knoppix or another live CD) to make the desired partition
bootable instead
of /dev/sda1
3) reboot.
I have to make sure a boot loader is in the Ubuntu partition /dev/sda2
