[buug] Problems Installing freeBSD 4.6

I booted from my CD-ROM and it boots to the Kernel Configuration Menu. 
I selected the visual mode and went through the configuration steps.  The
Device Configuration VI went fine.  Had to disable some drivers for
some devices that I didnt have.  Then selected the standard
installation.  Went to the Fdisk VI and I selected the entire disk and
marked the slice as bootable.  Went to the Disklabel Editor and selected the
automatic option.  Selected the "All system sources" to install from
the CD-ROM.  This is where everything goes downhill.  It stops with
the following error "Write Failure on transfer!"  "Unable to transfer
the bin distribution from acdoc."  I used the ATL+F1 to display the
errors and it stated:

/stand/gunzip: <fd:0>: invalid block type
/stand/cpio: premature end of life

I'm new to this all and I'm lost.  Any help would be great.  Thanks!
