  If you are willing to wipe whatever is on the disk, you can still get 
this to work, albeit a little klunky.

  Select the ad0s2 partition. Use 'C' to create a filesystem, with the 
path of '/'. Then 'Q' to finish. You haven't created a swap paritition, 
and you will receive a warning, but that is OK. Then, complete a FreeBSD 
install like you normally would.

  However, to boot, you must leave the install CD in the drive, break 
into OpenFirmware, and:

0 > boot cd:0,\boot\loader hd:2

later,

Peter.
