Unfortunately, you've run into a well-known bug in 4.6-RELEASE. This problem, and several others are covered in http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.6R/errata.html which you really need to read. It will explain to you a way of hopefully getting FreeBSD to install on your system. You should also read the security advisories listed on that page and decide if they represent security problems for you. You may also be interested to hear that there is a 4.6.2-RELEASE planned in the next few weeks that will fix the problem you are having and several others. Good Luck! :-) Andrew.
