your attitude sucks, when all needed was a simple question, you slammed 
FreeBSD without giving a chance for someone to help with the problem, but then 
again, I guess, some people want everything done for them instead of RTFM.  
You have conflicts, simple, at the boot: prompt, type -c at the next prompt, 
type visual, configure the kernel to remove conflicts, boot and install. REAL 
simple, but I guess someone with your attitude requires flaming of something 
you don't take time to research.
