Thumbs down Grub not working after this. . .

So I had Ubuntu 5.04 and Windows 98 on my PC. As soon as I install FreeBSD on a new partition I can boot get on Grub. Then it shows some generic boot loader that shows this.

F1 DOS
F2 Linux
F4 Free BSD

When I press F2 for Linux my PC just beeps.

So wtf is goin on?
