If you are experiencing FreeBSD for the first time, I suggest you to use a dedicated hard disk
for your first installation. If you can't, you may find useful to read the Chapter 4 "Shared OS
installation" from the Greg Lehey's book "The Complete FreeBSD", which you can download a
CC-licensed PDF version of at http://grog.evilcode.net/book.pdf.gz

Have a nice day.
