With GRUB (or LILO) you'll first of all want to make "active" the needed bsd partition and make "non-active" other bsd partitions. Otherwise, it either won't boot at all, or will boot with unexpected results. BSD bootblocks rely on active flag to find their partit

The KISS method is something rarely followed these days. One of the reasons why I liked FreeBSD's sysinstall is that it is simple, I rarely use all of its features. Just Custom -> Minimal -> Partition -> Commit -> and Reboot! The install takes about 3 minutes! I can rollout 20 FreeBSD systems
