It seems like maybe the OP got some bad installation
media?  Maybe he could download a new bootonly iso and
do a net install off of the fresh media so that he is
definitly getting FreeBSD from the right source, then
use a standard freebsd.org cvsup mirror to update if
desired.  The poster mentioned re-installing - was
this from the same installation media?  If so,
where/how was that installation media obtained?  I've
done a lot of 7.0/amd64 installs and never had this
happen using iso's downloaded from freebsd.org servers
or with a netinstall.
