Without having tested (as I usually do not use bsdinstall,
as I prefer the shell):

Allocate disk space manually. Your question implies that
you're using MBR style partitioning. While ada0s1 (with
the different file systems) has PC-BSD on it, you need
to create partitions on ada0s2, and set the mound points
for the installation process accordingly.

See chapter 2.6.3. in the handbook:
