The "lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0" is nothing to worry about, the system
does *not* think you have a printer attached. It thinks you have a
parallel port and created the associated printer port (in software).

The FreeBSD Handbook should be able to help with that.

Here is your hard drive.

Here is the drive being created and to be accessible as a disk in the
system.

Here is your cdrom.

Running usbdevs as root will show exactly what usb devices the system
knows about (that are currently connected). You should expect to see a
lot of usb hubs along with the hard drive and cdrom.

The line for /dev/da0 should have ro,noauto or rw,noauto for the Options
column.

There are a lot of sysinstall generated comments that you don't need in
your rc.conf file. Also, you have a lot of network server daemons
running and no ip assignment in sight. A look back at your dmesg shows
you don't have any network ports that were found by the system. Then
again, you did say that you were testing the system, so I guess you're
testing the configurations on the loop back device.
