After you configured the kernel, the next step would be to figure out
how to boot it.

I've managed to boot FreeBSD using grub in the fast as follows:

grub -> freebsd /boot/loader -> freebsd kernel

If  you end up doing something like this, one challenge may be that
/boot/loader doesn't understand ext2. In that case, you might want to
try using fat32 for /boot.
