I did this the other day. The trick is to get 2 primary dos partitions 
happening. (something microsofts fdisk wont do) I created 1 primary dos 
partition encompassing the whole disk, then cut it in half using fips.
Next I installed the alternate bootmanager osbs135.exe. (avalible from 
/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools/dist)

Then it was just a matter of formatting the partitions using the Win95 
format and the DOS 6 format commands.
