Try:

1. Control-C (to exit bsdinstall)

2. login as root, no password

3. work around (287569, revised).


Then either:

reboot -r

– or (not documented):

bsdinstall startbsdinstall


From 
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1mhqykr/comment/n6y4s5h/> 
for bsdinstall startbsdinstall:

Subsequent use of the shell, from the welcome dialogue, may fail to 
present the usual /bin/sh command prompt:

#

Options include:

1. enter commands as if the # prompt is invisible
2. use a different shell – for example, enter /bin/tcsh
3. for a clean restart of the installer, reboot -r
