I am trying to install FreeBSD on the same drive as Vista in a dual boot
configuration.  FDISK is reporting the normal geometry errors and it is also
stating that my Vista partition does not start on a sector boundary.  I
chose to ignore these errors, but when I was creating the last slice on the
drive I got an error about not being able to create partition.  I did some
research and I think the issue is related to the way Vista is creating
partitions.

Does anyone know if/when fdisk will support this new partition layout?
Thanks
