Don't install anything except the base OS from the FreeBSD install CDs. sysinstall is not very good at doing anything except installing the OS. Installing packages, configuring things, etc should all be done using the OS tools, once the OS has booted.

To install packages after the OS is installed, just use pkg_add -r appname.
