Yes, it works perfect. I did the original partitioning of my disk with
OS/2 and left a part of the disk unused.
After installing FreeBSD I used OS/2's fdisk to include this partition into
the bootmanager's list, mark it bootable (and set it as default choice :-) ).

Bye, Philipp

P.S. The FreeBSD-Installation asks you (after the partitioning, I think),
whether you want to have a bootmanager. You have to choose "don't touch it"
here.
