I was trying to install DOS-Windows, Windows NT and FreeBSD operating
systems on my PC.  It is Gateway 2000 (P-90) with 1Gb IDE drive.  

I successfully installed the following OSs as follow -

DOS-Windows on       C: 350MB partition
Windows NT 3.5 on    D: 350 MB partition
320MB is unused partition

Then I tried to install FreeBSD from Walnut Creek CD, but FDisk could not
see the
unused partition as a separate partition, it recognizes the DOS (350 MB
partition)
and the second partition it recognizes is 680MB partition (Windows NT +
Unused partition) !

So how can I tell FreeBSD to install itself on the unused partition ?

I appreciate any info you can give me (e-mail please)

Thanks,
--Rajesh.
