When I boot FreeBSD, the last message is:

Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:

And when I hit enter, I get the #, waiting for my commands.

After you deal with what SirDice just mentioned type return and you'll get back to multi-mode.
 
Hello and thank you all, it still won't work.

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
make install

blahblahblah
fetch: [url]ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/python/Python-2.6.5.tgz[/url]
: No access record

=> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
=> port manually into /usr/ports/dsitfiles/python and try again.

So my connection still doesn't seem to work.

It's booting to single user mode. Did you do that on purpose or was there an error?

Standard way of dealing with single user mode:
Code: 
fsck -y
mount -u /
mount -a -t ufs
swapon -a

Like SirDice said, did you intentionally boot the single user mode?
If no, you should reboot.

Do you have internet access with your machine at all?
Does
Code: 
# ping google.com
give you replies?

If not, please post your /etc/rc.conf file here.

Well, I edited rc.conf, and I tried EVERYTHING at the OpenBSD-installation. It just.. won't work. And installing FreeBSD from a PC-BSD DVD also won't work. I haven't tested internet connection with PC-BSD on the live-cd. A few days ago, I had Fedora running on this PC and it worked without problems. And it still works on every PC, but just not on the BSD'd one.
 
If you want useful responses, please provide details. Did you edit /etc/rc.conf (note the /etc)? What did you put in it? What Ethernet card do you have? Does ifconfig show that you have the Ethernet card you think you have?

in /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
ifconfig_em0="123.123.123.123 netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="123.123.123.1"
replace 123.123.123.123 with your IP
replace 123.123.123.1 with your ISP gateway

in /etc/resolv.conf
Code: 
nameserver 123.123.123.1
nameserver 123.123.123.2
Here IPs are IPs of your ISP DNS servers

If you don't have static IP, then simply in /etc/rc.conf add
Code: 
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"

More info in handbook, rc.conf(5) and ifconfig(8)

I added what he told me to add. I tried both possibilities, none worked.
 
Well... Doesn't tell me anything useful. Just a few dots and then "sleeping"

I'm currently running the Ubuntu Live CD, Internet connection works without problems. And PC-BSD also didn't get a connection...
