then by default, FreeBSD attempts to install at the end of these.

14. If your system has several operating systems, you may want to install
the Thomas Wolfram's os-bs boot manager for selecting which system to
boot. This works well with DOS, OS/2, FreeBSD and other systems. To
install it, boot MS-DOS and insert the dos-floppy of the FreeBSD
install suite in floppy drive A:. Then enter the DOS commands:
> A:
> os-bs135
> cd os-bs
> os-bs
Use the cursor keys to highlight the install option and hit
ENTER. The readme.1st file in the os-bs directory contains
more information about os-bs.
