The FDISK comes with FreeBSD 2.1R seems can only create primary
partion, as far as I know. I could not find a way to install FreeBSD
in a logical partion. However, having two primary partions on same
hard disk is not a problem since you can not boot both operating
systems at the same time. I think the best way to handle multipul
operating systems is the OS/2 boot manager, if you happen to have it
installed.

Seems I have to rephrase :) (bad formulation :))
Is it possible to install FreeBSD (if not, when will it be) into a
logical extended partition. Like in Linux you can install for example into
/dev/hdc8 (6. logical partition on the 3rd drive)?
