Issues installing freeBSD

Every time I try to install it this text pops up. I’ve tried googling it but found nothing. Even over multiple different install files like the dvd or memstick. It starts to happen after a few minutes mostly when I’m at the internet part

It's a wifi driver which is complaining. Is the network functioning?
If not, please give the exact chipset name or the exact laptop model.

If you can complete the installation anyway, there is some firmware modules available as port: net/wifi-firmware-rtw88-kmod. Don't know if it can be of some help.

My laptop is the hp model 14-dpOO8Onr and I can’t complete the installation. I once was able to but the wifi wasn’t working even though I had connected it if that helps.
 
Looks like just late kernel messages. It's kind of silly FreeBSD sends it to teminal 0 where also the setup dialog program outputs to. So confusing and so not necessary... What about putting this on line 23, 24 and 25 on a 80x25 console?
 
Such kernel messages during the installation are annoying because they overwrite the dialog of the bsdinstaller. For the less skilled it looks like the installation failed. A bug report should be filed for bsdinstaller.

You can stop this disturbing output with conscontrol mute on in the shell preferably before starting the bsdinstaller. It is silencing the output to ttyv0.
After completing the installation add this to /boot/loader.conf if necessary.
 
It's not ideal, but you're running into this issue: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/
The rtw88(4) driver has been updated to Linux v6.17. A possibleissue that devices cannot authenticate is still being investigated.c1d365f39e08(Sponsored by The FreeBSDFoundation)

This is regression in 15.0 and will persist even after install.

I posted some tips about how to get it to work more consistently here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...mage-rtw88-rtw8821c_fw-bin.101051/post-737429

If this is a serious enough for you, you could
1) Install 14.3 until this is fixed
2) Get a cheap USB ethernet or wifi
3) Replace your wifi card with a better supported one like Intel https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwlwifi&sektion=4&format=html
