If you are stuck with something, like the XHCI error, try a verbose boot: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-start.html It may, or may not, illuminate the issue a bit more. > But, the install did do one thing. > > I tried to install on ata3. bsdinstall actually created partitons on that disk. > > BUT, BSDINSTALL ALSO STABBED ATA0 AND MADE IT UNBOOTABLE. Thanks. Yikes, boot manager perhaps? Is this a multi-OS system? What's the boot manager you are using? > > I guess FreeBSD install is just broken. Maybe the web-based-install-everything-by-download is, but I doubt it. Is the network showing an IP when you're booting and what's its route table look like? Can you ping a known web site, ie, google.com (indicating name resolution & some network operation)?
