It means there's a bug in the installation program... :-) However, it's not that bad. The installation program is not too good at installing packages, but you can always install them yourself (once you get the system up) by using pkg_add. > > I ^C my way out of it and tried to get back into the original installation > program through rebooting and then tried to enter things like the root > password..

(wd2s3 I believe) That's a different problem. What you need to do is give the line: 1:wd(2,a) At the Boot: prompt. Once you get a functional system you may get rid of this by rebuilding the kernel with the config line reading: config kernel root on wd2.
