   GRUB can load the kernel directly, either in ELF or a.out format. But
this is not recommended, since FreeBSD's bootstrap interface sometimes
changes heavily, so GRUB can't guarantee to pass kernel parameters
correctly.

   Thus, we'd recommend loading the very flexible loader `/boot/loader'
instead. See this example:

     grub> root (hd0,a)
     grub> kernel /boot/loader
     grub> boot
