FreeBSD is listing the hardware it will check your system for. If you
had all this hardware, there would be conflicts. Chances are that you
don't have all that hardware, though, and there will not be any
conflicts.
Do this, in the visual config, go throught he list and delete all
hardware that isn't present in your computer (if you're in doubt about
something, leave it in)
Once you're done, you should see 0 conflicts, at that point FreeBSD will
boot without any trouble.
If you attempted to boot without doing this, it might start fine, but
the conflicts might also prevent it from booting successfully.
