Did you fetch and install the "securedist"? It's not on the CD-ROM.
Be sure to get the international version from one of the following places,
if you're located outside the U.S.
ftp://ftp.internat.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD
ftp://storm.sea.uct.ac.za/pub/FreeBSD
ftp://ftp.iqm.unicamp.br/pub/FreeBSD
ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/unix/FreeBSD/eurocrypt
FreeBSD uses MD5 password encryption by default for legal reasons.
