I'm not too familiar with sed and so am unsure what you're trying to.

It looks as though BSD sed is supplied with in the FreeBSD base
system.  You might want to try GNU sed instead.  It's in the Ports
tree - textproc/gsed.

If neither of them work for you then you've probably made a mistake
with your input.
