I re-partitioned the drive, and this time I did NOT turn on the
"include drivers for MacOS 9" option. Now the first real
partition (the 17-gig one) starts at partition #3 instead of
partition #10.
I also tried creating the partitions-for-freebsd as MacOS Extended
partitions, instead of unix partitions. When I did that, the
extra-partitions created inbetween my real partitions were 128meg,
instead of 8 meg. So, I changed the partitions for freebsd all
back to "Unix file system" partitions...
