IIRC Linux' fdisk command can get you a list of BSD partitions from the
BSD disklabel, then you'd probably pass that to the mount command. Most
likely, "/dev/device" will not exist, you need to substitute that for
something like /dev/hdXY".

Ask google if/how it's possible to use LILO. I have good experience with
grub on i386.
