Booting Windows/FreeBSD 4/FreeBSD 5/SuSE Linux 9

I've setup a system that has the following O/S installed on a single disk:
-- Windows 2003 Server
-- FreeBSD 4
-- FreeBSD 5
-- SuSE Linux 9 (OpenExchange 4.1)

SuSE comes with grub 0.92. With this version of grub installed I can boot Windows and SuSE Linux, but not the FreeBSD paritions.

I have tried the following grub commands in menu.lst
   title fbsd4
       root (hd0,1,a)
       kernel /boot/loader
and
   title fbsd4
       rootnoverify  (hd0,1,a)
       chainloader +1

The later example works with a similar setup, but using RedHat 9 (Grub 0.93), instead of SuSE.

Installing grub 0.94 from the FreeBSD ports collections, I can boot Windows, FreeBSD 4, and FreeBSD 5, but not SuSE Linux.

I used the following grub commands in menu.lst
   title SuSE Linux
       root (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 vga=788
       initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd

These are the same commands use by SuSE enu.lst to boot itself.

Any recommendations of advice would be greatly appraciate. I can provide any additional information if needed.
