How to change Disks on fdisk?

Hi all,

I'm trying to install FreeBsd, but when I need to configure my partions I can't know how to change between disk1 and disk2.

My disks configurations:
Disk 1 IDE:
**Only 1 partions NTFS (my documents backup)
Disk 2 SATA:
**Partion 1 NTFS (my WinXP)
**Partion 2 Debian instalation (I'll delete this partion to install here the FreeBSD)

Important:
My grub configuration is a little diferent, look:
title Windows XP Home Edition
root (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
This occurs because I have added the Disk 1 (IDE) later, and then I needed to map my drives.

When I start the FreeBSD installation on Partition Configuration the program enters Disk 1 as default, and I need to change to Disk 2.

Can you help me?

*Sry my english is too bad.

If I correctly understand, You need start installation by booting from boot CD, select Custom installation, go to Partition and select ad1 (which must be your "Disk 2 SATA") for partitioning.
Note: You must see here 2 disk, ad0 and ad1.

You are correct, but, in this option "Custon->Partion" I don't have any option to change to "Disk 2 SATA", I can view only one Disk (1 IDE)
