Hello everyone, I am new in FreeBSD. I want to install from DVD FreeBSD on an external hdd and I get an error when running the program partitioning. When I press alt + ctrl + F3, last lines: 
rm: /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/fstab: No such file or directory
Running installation step: autopart
Segmentation fault
Running installation step: umount

I found on Google about bsdinstall segfault without disks. Then I reboot computer, disconnected the hdd and connected it immediately after starting bsdinstall, that's what I brought:

usb_alloc_device: set address 2 failed (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored)
usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, USB_ERR_STALLED
usbd_req_re_enumerate: addr=2, set address failed! (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored)
usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, USB_ERR_STALLED
usbd_req_re_enumerate: addr=2, set address failed! (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored)
usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, USB_ERR_STALLED
ugen1.2: <Unknown> at usbus1 (disconnected)
uhub_reattach_port: could not allocate new device

As I understand it, my external hdd is not mounted.
Maybe it's because I have a hdd with usb 3.0, but my computer does not have usb 3.0.

Please, help.
