A "logical" partition is not a real partition. FreeBSD needs one of your for primary partition table entries. You may delete _all_ logical partitions along with the primary partition containing all the logical partitions. After doing so, FreeBSD will install into the free disk space. Some BIOSes are not able to start an operating system located beyond the 1023rd cylinder, thus the free space on your disk has to start before that invisible border.
