ok, I'm pretty sure this is the pb.  In the same machine, I installed 
NT on FAT and when I booted it, it gave a little, temporary menu of 
"F1 DOS", before continuing to the remainder of NT installation.

Back in fbsd parition editor, there are 6 cylinders at the beginning 
of the disk I cannot grab for fbsd, always a type "6".

Anybody know how to remove this compaq utils partition?
