You did something wrong. ;-)

To avoid spending much time I usually install FreeBSD with "minimal"
configuration. It takes some 5-10 minutes only. That I reboot the
system. If it boots I use sysinstall to add other needed stuff (ports,
docs, sources, some initial packages etc.)

If the system doesn't boot, well, I spend an other couple of 5-10
minutes to reinstall the OS.
