I had this problem when I was using an older model motherboard with
only 64k memory.
I moved HD to an newer pc to install FreeBSD to HD them returned HD
to first box and all was ok.
Then configured FreeBSD OS on older box with out any problems after
that.

Read 6.0 notes about dropped support for i386 cpu which I think is
the cause of problem

I choose option 6 "Kern-Developer   -   Full binaries and doc,
Kernel

Then I get the error while I see this:

"Extracting base into / directory"


Best,
