Simply allocate all space on the second drive (ad1) to a FreeBSD partition by pressing A. Try reading: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html > I am very much afraid that I might do something wrong and wipe out > my Windows installation. Then don't select the first drive (ad0). :) If you select this drive by accident, it will show you the Windows partition(s) on it anyway, so you will see immediately that you chose the wrong drive. ------------A83AC5B1706A Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFCtuO/sF6jCi4glqMRAszaAJ94ZD7S3qRtaCWcO/Tknhs6+mgP6QCgqbOx gBn8IoKCzS+BN2cKooAo2YM= =FIRo -----END PGP MESSAGE----- ------------A83AC5B1706A--
