    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.
