You're using sysinstall(8) to install some packages. An error has occurred. Now, if you're actually using sysinstall to install the system, you can hit Alt-F2 to switch to an alternate console where there should be a load of debug output which will hopefully tell you exactly what went wrong. On the other hand, if you're just running sysinstall(8) from the command line as a system admin tool, then that output is not actually accessible. In this case, using 'pkg_add' directly from the command line will give you a better idea of what's going on: # pkg_add -r pkgname If you can't work out what the package name should be, take a look at http://www.freshports.org/ the 'port details' screen very helpfully tells you exactly what to type.
