I go through the installation, and everything seems normal. I configure X windows just as I do in Linux. Why not configuring X through /stand/sysinstall, then use the graphical configuration tool? You probably did choose a scan frequency not supported by your monitor. Modern monitors just shutdown to prevent damage. (Otherwise the line transformer will burn through --remember the DANGER section on the configuration screens?) Try a simple configuration, such as SVGA, using some lowish frequency ranges, and leave the big, fancy stuff for later.
