You may be outsmarting yourself here. I am not sure if the installation will look at the 'D:' partition. The installation guide says 'C:,' but I do not know if that is absolutely required. If you for some reason made the FAT16 partition believing FreeBSD cannot read FAT32, it can read FAT32. > and the other I have formatted with > FreeBSD.
