The problem is: FreeBSD doesn't support installation into an extended partition. Nor does FreeBSD's fdisk support extended partitions. I'm using extended partitions as /usr within FreeBSD but had to create the partition tables by hand. If buying a new disk is an option: Do it! Will save you a lot of time.
