Ha, I was just posting a similar problem. I got past that by running
the patch at the bottom of:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-i386/2003-September/000325.html

then remaking the ISOs. That let me at least install freebsd, but
I can't get it to boot. However, I suspect my problems are related to
my attempting to keep a dual boot install and putting freebsd way high
up on the disk. Your mileage may vary.

If you'd like I can send you a link to my 4.9-stable+patches miniinst
iso.
