I had similar problem with 4.8 as well, and it seems to remain also in 4.9. I have resovled it that I copied whole FreeBSD install CD1 to the free newly MSDOS formated HDD, boot from install CD, then install from that HDD. I know it is very hard way, and I started some discussion here (look for subject "4.8 Install Failure" in the archive - there is few next questions, but no solution). People wanted me to check my HDD/cables/jumpers/CD-burn but it seems to be the installer problem. It seems to apear AFTER 4.6, because I have succesfully instaled both 4.6 in the past onto the same machine. Dear FreeBSD team, could you please find that bug and repair it ? FreeBSD is an excelent OS, so make such the installation too, please.
