You get /dev/hdc1 busy error. At which step in installation, you get
/dev/hdc1 busy error, hmm...? Are you trying to remove '/dev/hdc1'
(FreeBSD slice), if yes, then you'll get error, and you probably need to
remove FreeBSD partitions (present in slice) first.

| Hi,
| 1. I am trying to fresh install over single disk.
| 2. I have FreeBSD6.2 slice on first primary partition of the disk.

There should be absolutely no problem in installing RHEL5, even
GNU/Linux can read FreeBSD disklabels (and partitions) without any
problem :) .

Mine is SATA disk, but that should make no difference :)
