Natanael, I believe you have to configure your kernel. I think skipping this step is the problem. By configuring the kernel, you're telling BSD what equipment your computer has and what it doesn't have. BSD may be trying to install something your system doesn't have. Read the manual chapter on installing BSD. Good luck.
