It has to be in its own partition and right now you have two that it can't use, i.e., the primary and the extended. You can rearrange your drive with something like Partition Magic such that you leave a 2GB space between your primary and your extended. You can then create a FreeBSD partition and install it in that space. It is probably easier to add a second drive and install it on it. Either way has its own special gotcha's but rearranging a drive that large has special risks with more serious after effects.
