Hi,
I have 1 primary partition, containing 4 extended partitions. Mandrake Linux 9.2 is installed over there. Using fdisk in FreeBSD installer, I created another primary partition and tried installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 there.
Unfortunately, the installation process got hung while the installer was "Creating a root filesystem on ad10s3". I waited for more than 3 hours. I selected none when I was prompted to install a boot manager, since I wanted to boot using Grub which is already there when I install Linux.
This is the output from Linux's cfdisk:

What did I do wrong?
Thank you in advance.
Yours truly,
Hanxue
