Thanks for the link, James, it helped me pass the lockup by installing
Dynamic Drive Overlay but DDO confused the FreeBSD installer. The FDISK
program that comes with the installation either thinks the drive starts
at sector -63 and cant create the FreeBSD partition, or if I use the
Disk Manager to create the partition the FreeBSD installation cannot
change the type to FreeBSD. Someone on the list that has experience in
solving these issues?
