If you aren't sharing this disk with another OS, select just one partition for your installation and follow all the defaults. You should have no trouble on the installation. If you intend to share this disk with another OS, install it first, selecting less than 100% of the disk for installation, then install FreeBSD on the remaining portion of your disk. Select the BootEasy boot manager and you are good to go.
