"you can't use ada0 for sharing data"

When i try to install freenas, i'll get the notification 'you can't use ada0 for sharing data'. When the installation ends, there isn't a bootable file on my computer. I use a Mac Mini 2011, with 500 gb memory and 8 gb RAM. Can somebody help me please?

Regards
