You'll need to setup as such: p1: Apple partition map p2: 1M Apple boot strap p3: /FreeBSD / root system p4: / FreeBSD-swap p5: /FreeBSD var p6: /FreeBSD tmp p7: /FreeBSD /usr p8: /FreeBSD /usr/local p9: /FreeBSD /home That's my layout. p10: Apple bootstrap p11: Linux / root system p12: Swap And whatever else you want. Just be sure not to use anything dedicated to FreeBSD. Follow instructions for both. Holding down the option key will show you a disc image with a penguin for the gentoo and a disc image- this represents the FreeBSD install- after the base of both systems are setup.
