Hmmm I do it a bit more "manual". Create a msdos filesystem on the floppy
and mount it. After this:

newfs_msdos, mount...
mkdir /floppy/grub
cp /usr/pkg/share/grub/i386-/* /floppy/grub
vi /floppy/grub/menu.lst
umount /floppy

and now run "grub" and from its command line, type:
root (fd0)
setup (fd0)

This should do the work

HTH
