First of all, what version of FreeBSD are you trying to install?

Secondly, I generally see this problem if you disable the system console
sc0 in the boot-time configuration.  The 'conflicts' note is bogus -- it
should conflict with psm0 since they use the same controller chip.  Newer
versions of FreeBSD don't complain about this.

The test for this is to skip configuring devices -- if it works then don't
touch sc0. :-)
