It may be that if your FreeBSD box gets assigned an IPv6 address it assumes it should use IPv6 to do the install. However most networking kit of the sort you'ld use at home doesn't understand IPv6 yet, so won't pass the traffic. Can you try the installation, and instead of using the settings PPP gives you automatically, configure the settings manually -- use the same data as you got from PPP (except for the IPv6 address, obviously), or whatever your ISP recommends. The other alternative would be to do a minimal installation from the mini ISO image, which will get you a bare bones but working FreeBSD system, then: # pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui and proceed to grab the system sources and the ports with cvsup. And then spend a few days building and installing everything you ned. Once you've got the minimal system installed you'll be able to configure PPP to do the right thing.
