Hello, It is not possible to install FreeBSD in an extended partition (the partition must be bootable and an extended partition is not bootable) You may cut your extended partition to get a new "normal" partition (that is : leave 700 Megs in the existing extened part and get 700 Megs in a new partition nr 2) I don't know if FIPS (the repartitioning tool which comes with FreeBSD) can do this, but if it does not, look at the "partition magic" set of tool.
