I know that you have probably seen this question a million times, but
since I am new to BSD, here goes.	

I would like to install FREEBSD on a hard drive which also contains a
DOS partition and a LINUX partition. The only free space is out at the
end of the drive, past the 1024 cylinder mark.

Does this pose a problem for FREEBSD ? and, if so, is there an easy
way to get around it ?  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
