I would like to reformat and start over, but I don´t know how. As I wrote
earlier, I keep getting the below-mentioned loop. How do I just reformat the
disk? Also, concerning BIOS, not the problem, since I successfully installed
earlier.

Tony,
You don't mention what version you installing.
Be sure your BIOS is not set to not allow boot sector writes. Some BIOS have
this set to thwart boot sector viruses.
A few things you can try:
You can boot FreeDOS and run booteasy from the tools folder on the FreeBSD
install CD to install the boot-manager.
Boot the FreeBSD install CD and use the emergency shell to check the hard drive
for the correct creation of the folders and kernel.
If all else fails you can reformat and start over.
