Ack, you don't wrap. Sure can. I'm doing it here. :) Just install FreeBSD as normal (selecting your remaining slice and disk space), reboot to OS/2, go into OS/2 FDISK and tell it to add the FreeBSD parition to the boot manager. It'll show up as type `A5' which is OK. Then restart and enjoy :) Works fabulously here, except I have fbsd on a second disk.
