Hi Laura,

This will be easy... You'll need to delete the entries for
wd0s3 and wd0s4 first to make room for the FreeBSD installation.

Assuming that you are using the installation floppy, I believe
you just use the arrow keys to position over these lines and
strike the 'D' key.

Then you should have the space to add FreeBSD.

Welcome...

HTH,
