you are of course absolutely correct. What I mean to say was 

/dev/hda1 win2k
/dev/hda2 FBSD
/dev/hda3  <---- where i am hoping to install deb.

So I my difficulty is simply that I don't seem to be able to correctly
write the partition info to disk. I get an error saying that the
information was written but could not be re-read and to reboot. From
there of course I cannot initialize any partitions. 

Any further advice is most appreciated.
