FreeBSD uses a different type of partition then linux does. Leave the space free and allow the FreeBSD installation to create the partitions on it's own. On a similar note, does anyone exactly know what FreeBSD does to the partition table? Because last time I had a dual-boot system, Partition Magic wouldn't work on my harddrive. Stated that the partition tables didn't match. When I removed BSD from that system it work perfectly again. I have a dedicated machine now.
