Yes it is possible. -Run fdisk one last time to put the entire disc into a single dos slice. -Boot the install -When partioning the disc, you will be asked, "Do you want to maintain compatiblity for other OSes?" -Say, "NO! I want my FreeBSD!" aloud. -Then check the "No" box. -Then read the "SCARY" <=== inside joke at my tech support job -Ignore the "SCARY" -The disc will be made 100% FreeBSD Search the website for "dangerously dedicated" and you will get better instructions.
