That's EINVAL, so

almost certainly not that.

Are you sure that the system you're installing is the correct port
for the hardware?   That's the kind of error I'd perhaps expect to
see if attempting to install an amd64 image in a 486 or similar (32 bit
only system) or an ARM image on any x86 box (or vice versa).

Which could also happen if the wrong port's filesystem was installed.

That the installer is working (and its shell works) suggests that you
have the correct install image, but that doesn't guarantee that you're
getting the correct binary sets.   Where did it all come from?
