You haven't left any free space in those 20 Gb, to create a BSD partition. You probably have space that is free, but assigned to the 10 GB fat32 partition, so it can't be used for a new partition. One suggestion you might find nice is to backup the data of that 10 GB partition, erase it, and create two primary partitions in the free space. Restore the data you backed up from the old 10 GB partition on one of those new primary partitions, and use the other primary partition for your BSD installation.
