I startet the FreeBSD installer, chose the shell and then run:

That worked? I can hardly understand why /dev/ad0s1 is
mountable (except it's /dev/ad0s1c, i. e. you've initialized
the whole slice, but no swap then).
A typical construction for FreeBSD would be at least to have
/dev/ad0s1a, mounted to /, being the bootable root partition,
and /dev/ad0s1b, the swap partition. Further partitions could
have been created, e. g. /dev/ad0s1d for /var, and /dev/ad0s1e
for /usr.
This does cause the issue I already had before. When I go back to the
installer, for the partition editor I get:
ada0 298 GB MBR
ada0s1 57 GB freebsd
ada0s2 240 GB EBR

gpart show also doesn't display the 3 ufs and the swap any more.
Did it previously show them? I don't know if gpart supports
BSD-typical partitioning (i. e. partitions inside a slice)...
Yes, it does. But it won't show them unless you look in ada0s1.
bsdlabel partitions are inside slices.
