If you can see the drive (sd0) to pick for the install then your scsi card
should be ok.  I'm worried about "no partitions are found, so there is
nothing to do".  You need to _create_ a partition (actually slice) for
FreeBSD to live in.  Then you will create BSD partitions in the next step
in the disklabel editor.
