I suggest
1. report this as a bug
2. Maybe ask/discuss on the Anaconda list where you will attract
attention form anaconda's developers. Probably nobody here can help much.
As a workaround, try using fdisk to create the partitions. You can
pioneer the technique by doing a manual install, and at the approriate
time switch to tty and do the deed.
Once you have the commands, you can pipe them into fdisk:
fdisk /dev/<whatever> <<Z
# fdisk commands
Z
in the %pre section, where, if necessary, you can do some calculations
to determine the proper values.
If this still doesn't work, there may be a kernel bug and no quick
resolution.
and installation aborts.

I don't see how that might prevent Anaconda getting confused about the
FreeBSD partition.
_I_ don't think it should be getting confused at all; I suggest a bug
report and/or asking on the anaconda list.

found this man page
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-kickstart2-options.html
ignoredisk --drives=drive1,drive2,...
can the same thing work for partitions over one hard disk instead of
ignoring disk devices?
