ad1 means disc 2, possible the slave drive, is where you are tring to 
install to.  Is this what you want, or do you want it on you primary 
which is ad0.  Also did you see this 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=78964

The easiest thing would be to try it with just the disc you want to 
install on, no second disc on the cable.
