 I too am experiencing this on a SuperMicro server chassis using IPMI to 
 remotely mount an ISO image (The IPMI interface uses USB to interface 
 for drive mounts, keyboard and mouse)  I found that using a FreeBSD-8 
 boot only CD worked however: 8.0-CURRENT-200803-i386-bootonly.iso - I 
 found this while searching Google, not sure the exact location.  Booting 
 that CD then changing the distribution to install FreeBSD7-Release 
 allowed me to install properly.  I hope this gets addressed soon!
