Are you using a KVM switch? FreeBSD can sometimes be temperamental about them. I've had that happen once or twice--freezing at the same point where your installation does--in all cases, while I was using a KVM switch. Swapping keyboards solved the problem. The other alternative was to forgo the KVM switch and plug the keyboard directly into the FreeBSD machine, which also fixed the problem.
