Partitionning Problem

[Россихин Алексей]

I read somewhere that the problem is in
improper mode (CHS/LBA). But when i switch
it in BIOS from auto, OS can`t even boot up.
And how to say FreeBSD proper mode i don`t know.

The thing is I have a 37 Gb of Hard Drive; 5 Gb are allocated for Windows 98 (FAT32), ~23,5Gb for Windows XP (NTFS) and I have the rest of Disk partitionioned with Gentoo. I thought to use this partitions for Freesbd. That's what appears on Fdisk screen:
