I paritioned/labeled the disk with the install disk, then rebooted the install disk, went into the Fixit environment and manually mounted ad0x under the various /mnt directories. I then insert the USB drive into the system that has a full image of FreeBSD from another machine on it, stored in a tarball, and mount it under /mnt/mnt. I then start to untar it (to load that image onto my newly labeled disk), and that's when I see the errors.
