thanks Carl,

i tried your your manual step by steps on FreeBSD8.2 but error happened.
this is what i've done:
gpart create -s MBR ad3
ad3 created
gpart add -t freebsd ad3
ad3s1 added
gpart create -s BSD -n 20 ad3s1
gpart: geom 'ad3s1': File Exists

if i do not run the second command and run the third one, it says "invalid
argument".

i don't know what should i do:( any comments or hints are really
appreciated.

[please stop top-posting, it makes replies more difficult]

The slice entry is still present on the disk, and must be removed and recreated:

  gpart delete -i1 ad3
  gpart add -t freebsd ad3

Again, GPT is a better solution unless you have a Thinkpad with a broken BIOS.
