Greetings
Artur.
your extended partition (hda2) contains logical partitions hda5 upto hda9. Now, its not possible to install fbsd on a logical partition so you will have to somehow reduce the size of the extended partition itself (ofcourse, this would automatically require that some of the logical partitions are resized). you can use partition magic for this purpose.

after resizing your partition layout should look like:

Code:
hda
  hda1
  <free space for freebsd / hda2>
  hda3
      hda5
      hda6
      hda7
      hda8
      hda9
