You have errors in your /etc/rc.conf file, mainly a missing or misplace " mark. The boot process has dropped you into single-user mode to allow you to fix the issue.

  1. Press enter, which will start /bin/sh.
  2. Remount the / filesystem read-write:
    # mount -u /
  3. If /usr is a separate filesystem, mount that as well:
    # mount /usr
  4. Then edit /etc/rc.conf to fix the errors:
    # ee /etc/rc.conf
  5. Exit the shell to continue the boot process from that point, or reboot to start the boot from scratch.
 
The OP is booting from a CD, you can't edit a read-only filesystem ;)

My guess is that the CD image you burned is corrupt. Did you check the hash before burning?
 
What architecture is your VM, and which images did you try to boot? Can you post all of the boot output as text instead of a screenshot?
 
I downloaded the last image on 6th from the website. Until the administrator accepts my post, I find decision for myself. Usually, I do not reserve disk space ('Allocate disk space now') when I create Virt Machine. I just put the maximum size. After freebsd FreeBSD, I tried to put RedHat, but it was impossible to install too. I downloaded freebsd FreeBSD 8.2. but the same result. When I played with the setting, the key for my problem was to click on 'Allocate disk space now'.

I will try phoenix' decision, and I will write. And yes I will try to copy all text output.

I use VMware Workstation 8, the OS is winXP 64bit.

And thanks for all of you!
