At which step in installation, you get /dev/hdc1 busy error, hmm...? Are you trying to remove '/dev/hdc1' (FreeBSD slice), if yes, then you'll get error, and you probably need to remove FreeBSD partitions (present in slice) first. [snipped] | Hi, | 1.

There should be absolutely no problem in installing RHEL5, even GNU/Linux can read FreeBSD disklabels (and partitions) without any problem :) . =20 | can I have a look at your partition table ?
