If I remember right I hit few times similar problem. On real machine not 
emulation.
If you try to install FreeBSD 7.snapshot and select for media that 
require network (ftp/http/nfs)
then you are unable to configure your network (ifconfig shows that 
everything should be OK, but actually
the machine does not even respond to ping)

The only way to do the installation was first to configure network and 
then everything else e.g.
 From sysinstall (main menu) -> configure -> networking -> interfaces -> 
iface
and just then (main menu) -> custom -> media -> FTP

I think I hit this bug with fbsd7-i386-boot-only CD, but If I have time 
will check can I reproduce it with BETA1 disk1 :)

If this is your case, try first to setup network and then go to the 
install procedure :)
