You need two containers for the FreeBSD partitions. To get them, you have to start the installer and add partitions manually. Select your installation disk, i.e. ada0. If it is not empty, delete what is there and add the first container (slice) do it using 50% of the disk. Add then inside this slice (ada0s1) the partitions you want. When you start the second installation, use the remaining space. This will result in a second slice (ada0s2) if I remember right. You will need a boot manager. I did not see the question to use one in the installer recently. Erich
