Yes, you do need to fdisk.  Simply allocate all space on the second
drive (ad1) to a FreeBSD partition by pressing A.  Try reading:

Then don't select the first drive (ad0). :)  If you select this drive
by accident, it will show you the Windows partition(s) on it anyway,
so you will see immediately that you chose the wrong drive.
