I don't see why not. Gpart acts funny at times; so, you may want to use a Debain CD to make an empty partiton as a buffer then add a bootstrap, root, swap, and other partitons. After I finish building kde4, I'll try a multiboot of freebsd on my G4. I think you also need to mark the partitons as not use or something. http://onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/05/09/Big_Scary_Daemons.html There. Hopefully, the others on this mailing list will show you a better way.
