At least this point could be answered by looking in GRUB's source. The
file grub-core/loader/i386/bsd.c contains an array freebsd_opts which
lists these 14 options:

static const struct grub_arg_option freebsd_opts[] =
  {
    {"dual", 'D', 0, N_("Display output on all consoles."), 0, 0},
    {"serial", 'h', 0, N_("Use serial console."), 0, 0},
    {"askname", 'a', 0, N_("Ask for file name to reboot from."), 0, 0},
    {"cdrom", 'C', 0, N_("Use CD-ROM as root."), 0, 0},
    {"config", 'c', 0, N_("Invoke user configuration routing."), 0, 0},
    {"kdb", 'd', 0, N_("Enter in KDB on boot."), 0, 0},
    {"gdb", 'g', 0, N_("Use GDB remote debugger instead of DDB."), 0, 0},
    {"mute", 'm', 0, N_("Disable all boot output."), 0, 0},
    {"nointr", 'n', 0, "", 0, 0},
    {"pause", 'p', 0, N_("Wait for keypress after every line of output."), 0, 
0},
    {"quiet", 'q', 0, "", 0, 0},
    {"dfltroot", 'r', 0, N_("Use compiled-in root device."), 0, 0},
    {"single", 's', 0, N_("Boot into single mode."), 0, 0},
    {"verbose", 'v', 0, N_("Boot with verbose messages."), 0, 0},
    {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
  };

Further help is welcome!!
