  You don't select the hardware during the installation. FreeBSD installs a
default (GENERIC) kernel w/ support for many things that probably you don't
have.  Enter configuration at boot time (type -c at the boot prompt, then
choose Visual) and disable everything you don't need. When you're able to
boot your system, consider compiling a custom kernel. More info in the
Handbook, on-line at www.freebsd.org.
