When you are trying to reboot into the installation CD, are you sure
you have the right boot sequence selected (CD, not HDD)? I guess on
your mac it might mean restarting, holding down the option key,
choosing the CD icon and the arrow on the right side.

Yes, it's either the 'option' key or the 'C' key; can' recall which.

Try to understand what's going on. You were installing FreeBSD on your
harddisk, interrupted the process somewhere in the middle because you
had errors, restarted and booted from that harddisk (right?) with
half-installed operating system, and now you have a blank screen, which
is no wonder. If your hardware isn't damaged per se (hopefully), then
you may try once more to boot from the FreeBSD installation CD instead
of harddisk, and you need to find a way how to do that. Of cource, your
blank screen doesn't have any icons to click or command line prompts.
The boot choice should be done at the first moments of your computer
startup. If the boot menu is gone, you may still try to enter Open
Firmware and type your boot command from there (see, for example,
http://mac.linux.be/content/booting-open-firmware).
