FreeBSD can boot (and run) from a slice in the second drive, but if i'm correct, on your hard drive, D: is a primary partition and E:, F:, and G: are in an extended partition (ie: G is in F and F is in E). Since FreeBSD can't boot from an extended partition, you will have to: 1) Reorganize your hard drives to make room 2) Release G: with a good disk editor (technical!)
