I have read a few instructions from info grub. I am a little confuzed.
There are so many different ways to do this. One way is grub-install
/dev/hd0 or stages.

except hd0 is not a device under freebsd. I am trying to install it to
the mbr. At least I think that's where I should install it.

i believe ad0s1 is windows and ad0s2 is freebsd

Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
/dev/ad0/: Not found or not a block device.

/dev/hd0: Not found or not a block device.
flipnode at solid# grub-install /dev/ad0
/dev/ad0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
flipnode at solid# grub-install /dev/ad0s1
/dev/ad0s1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
flipnode at solid# grub-install /dev/ad0s1
/dev/ad0s1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
flipnode at solid# grub-install /dev/ad0s2
/dev/ad0s2 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
