I tried installing again and noticed that it saw the fat32 as 
"???unknown???".  After rebooting and not being able to boot I used the 
CD to try to see things.

Execution of the command
mount /dev/ad1s2a /mnt
FAILED with a return code of 1

If you need the whole error log including the first drive let me know.
