Dual Boot -- FreeBSD 5.4 and Fedora Core 3

Greetings all:

   I tried to install Fedora Core 3 to my FreeBSD box and make it dual 
boot, but with no luck. The FreeBSD 5.4-Pre is installed in the first 
drive, and work like a champ. I intended to install Fedora Core 3 on my 
second disk, but anaconda crashed at the last moment. The first few lines 
of the dumped trace look as follows.

   Also, should I enable GRUB when installing Fedora, or should I enable it 
on hdb1? I am afraid that it ends up failing to boot my FreeBSD partition.

   Any suggestion and help on this will be most appreciated.

thanks and cheers,
