  ^^

While FreeBSD 3.x (and maybe even 4.x, I haven't tried) will run on 8MB of
RAM, the installation will hang as you've described if you only have 8MB
available.

See if you can't (temporarily) add more RAM to the machine to do the
installation, or move the HDD to another machine to do the install.
