I use both Partition Magic and System Commander and they work just fine
for me (win95/freebsd 3.0).
However, I'm set up differently. I run FreeBSD on a second drive (which
happens to be scsi).

The thing that bothers me is that you have *nine* partitions? and you
want to run on the 9th?
Sounds like you have an extended partition and maybe you are trying to
use one of the sub partitions
of that for FreeBSD. I tried that once with no success. I don't think it
can be done, but perhaps
someone here knows how to do it.
