what version your PC=BSD is based on? Isn't it 10.0?

yes, /dev/daX are normally USB devices.

Do you have a normal PC with SATA? Then the internal disk should be
some /dev/adaX. X should be 0 but also can be some other number
depending on your hardware. You should have then some slices/partitions
on that device.

One other thing which should not affect you. Did you install the GTP
schema? Is it sure that your machine can boot from it?

I do not know if the memstick contains a desktop. But installing a
desktop is normally the smallest problem.
