I had this same type problem. It appears that FreeBSD and the BIOS did not select the proper geometry for the disk. I tried a different disk on the same system, and I was able to install. Knopptix reported a different geometry than FreeBSD, so I tried setting the geometry to match what Knopptix reported, but, the installation graphical fdisk told me the Knopptix geometry was "unrealistic", and set it back to the BIOS geometry. I installed the system on a different drive, and then used the command line fdisk command to partition the disk with the Knopptix geometry. I was then able to set the labels and mount the errant drive. Keith
