Nothing like that... that Daemon mascot is the original BSD mascot that represents the Daemons (services/processes) that work for you in background... its supposed to be cute and not scary...

Nope... FreeBSD needs a separate Primary partition for itself in UFS filesystem... inside that you have to create seperate partitions for
/boot, /usr, /tmp, /etc and /swap .... all these are seperate partions rather than just directories...

FreeBSD installation proceeds in three steps, if you are able to get past the first stage then you should start enjoying as your base system is installed atleast... Anyways, nothing will be written to the disk if you dont press on Yes twice...
Anyways I wish you GOOD LUCK.... i know you are going to need it....
