I just got the same error, for the archives:

% Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!
% The creation of filesystem will be aborted

It didn't matter if I choose quick, custom or standard installation.

What did matter is slice scheme. With sysinstal I was trying to do:

ad1s1 - UFS2
ad1s2 - ext2

ad1s1a /
ad1s1b swap
ad1s1d /tmp
ad1s1e /usr
ad1s1f /var
ad1s1g /home

This gave me the error. After removing ext2 slice all went OK.

HTH,

Karol
