You should make sure you cleared out any "conflicts" in the part of the
installation program that defines irq channels.  Either delete the device
if its not needed, or change it's irq channel.  Keep doing this until your
down to 0 conflicts in all areas, then proceed with installation.  This
may be slightly different for you, since your installing from CD's.  I
installed from a boot floppy using an INET install.  See if this works, if
not you could always just disconnect one cd, install FreeBSD, and install
the other CD after its all setup.
