I had similar problems installing FreeBSD 2.2.6
The way I got around it was to boot using an older 2.2.5-Release boot
floppy, changing the version setting in the config file from 2.2.5 to
2.2.6, and working through the install that way. Once I did that, the
PPP connection worked properly and the install went fine.
(Sorry the details are sketchy - it's been a while since I did it)
Probably not the best solution, but it did the trick.
