You probably dont need to do this, formating is a standard part of the FreeBSD 
installation process.

And you can't just format the disk, it's a three stage process

1 - create a primary partition for the BSD slice
2 - create BSD partitions in the slice
3 - format the partitions

but the installation program will take you through all that.
