It sounds as though you're using fdisk and it's telling you that you can 
only have one "active" primary partition.

Where are you getting the message?  Are you using the FreeBSD 
installation CDROM?  Or are you working with the partition table in 
another program such as fdisk?

Let us know so that we can provide better assistance.
