Hi, 
I see that you are getting the Kernel not found message. In FreeBSD, I guess 
you have to explicitly install the Kernel. It can be found under 
DISTRIBUTION, Kernel - Generic / SMP. Select the one you want to. and let it 
install the kernel. 
Then follow the other installation steps, and then it should run properly. 

I also am new to FreeBSD. Doing what is mentioned above solved the problem for 
me. :)
Just wondering why the FreeBSD installer doesn't include the Kernel by 
default!
