Do you still have Fat32 in slice 1?

It is my impression that MS will not allow more than 1 MS primary slice. It
will force 2nd and subsequent MS file systems into extended partitions. Of 
course if you created "and formatted" the slice outside of MS then the 
comment is irrelevant.

Posting the output of fdisk (on FreeBSD) might help.
