I dont think that you need to make the Linux partition as primary. You also do not have install to a new partition immediately. You can leave it the way it is till you are ready to install.

Just make sure that you do not install Windows over an existing Linux version ever.. Windows assumes that it will be the only OS to reside on your system and will merrily overwrite the MBR and your Linux partition will be rendered non-bootable.

umct -- Magic Control Technology USB-RS232 converter driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device umct device ucom Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): umct_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The umct driver provides support for USB to RS-232 converters based on the Magic Control Technology USB-232 design. These devices support most of the standard RS-232 features including baud rates ranging from 300 to 115200 bits per second. However, neither hardware nor software flow control seems to be supported. Access to devices under this driver is via the ucom(4) framework and device nodes. HARDWARE

The umct driver was written by Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>. BSD
