I can't answer your question directly, but I think most operating
systems support EFI boot. So if you have a modern UEFI bios, you might
want to try ditch your grub mbr setup for both Linux and BSD.

On the Linux side, the Arch docs are usually most helpful, maybe
starting here:
  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-boot

IIRC, I have a single bios vfat boot partition shared among OSes and
mounted (or mountable) as /boot under Linux.
