I don't know if FreeBSD supports installing into DOS extended partition. installing an OS in a DOS extended partition is dangrous, it can be easily rewritten by DOS utils, if you havn't space to create a partition, I sugguest you use PQMagic like partition utils to shrink existing partitions, then install FreeBSD in new partition.
