Here is what a sample partitioned drive should look like. partition 1 FreeBSD partition 2 NetBSD partition 3 Extended partition 4 OpenBSD partition 5 Linux(probably want /boot here. Kernel for both distros) partition 6-whatever can be used for Linux distro partitions (order doesn't matter, except don't put the extended part. first) Honestly, spare yourself some grief and get another HD, they're pretty cheap now.
