As your not at the boot loader stage yet for keyboard enabling legacy 
USB keyboard / mouse support in BIOS may help.

If you see issues with keyboard after the kernel takes over setting 
hint.ehci.0.disabled=1 may help.

If your installing 11.x then the guides boot partition size is out of 
date and you should use 512K for your freebsd-boot partition.

For the GPT version (I've never used MBR one) what actual error do you get?
