Hi, 


I have 1 primary partition, containing 4 extended partitions. Mandrake Linux 9.2 is 
installed over there. Using fdisk in FreeBSD installer, I created another primary 
partition and tried installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 there. 

Unfortunately, the installation process got hung while the installer was "Creating a 
root filesystem on ad10s3". I waited for more than 3 hours. I selected none when I was 
prompted to install a boot manager, since I wanted to boot using Grub which is already 
there when I install Linux.

This is the output from Linux's cfdisk:

   Primary 28659960 78156224       0 49496265  Free Space             None (00)

What did I do wrong?

Thank you in advance.



Yours truly,
