  I've tried to install FreeBSD twice now after I figured out that I had
a bad FileSystem disk, but with no luck.  

  First of all,  everytime I try to install it, it nukes my DOS
partition.  This wouldn't be so bad (I have everything backed on tape)
except that when I try to create another DOS partion, there is no room
left (even though I know I've only partitioned half the drive to BSD).

  Anyone been able to get it install and coincide with a DOS partition?
How?!  After my first post, I received replies saying that there was a
bug in the install, but no luck with fixes, etc.
