How then do I implement this with setup?  The info page says...

grub> root (hd0,a)        #that's my FreeBSD slice
grub> setup hd0           #hd0=MBR, hd0,a=boot sector  ?which for me?? 

When I execute setup I get a "file not found" or similar message.
How will this execute /boot/loader?

Many thanks...
