You'll have to be a bit more specific on "does not work"? Are you trying to install BSD in a virtual machine or a physical machine? Did you burn the image to disc, if so, how? What files are shown when you insert the disc to a working machine?

systemd-machine-id-setup
SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID(1) systemd-machine-id-setup SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID(1)
NAME
systemd-machine-id-setup - Initialize the machine ID in /etc/machine-id
SYNOPSIS
systemd-machine-id-setup
DESCRIPTION
systemd-machine-id-setup may be used by system installer tools to initialize the machine ID stored in /etc/machine-id at install time with
a randomly generated ID. See machine-id(5) for more information about this file.
This tool will execute no operation if /etc/machine-id is already initialized.
If a valid D-Bus machine ID is already configured for the system the D-Bus machine ID is copied and used to initialize the machine ID in
/etc/machine-id.
If run inside a KVM virtual machine and a UUID is passed via the -uuid option this UUID is used to initialize the machine ID instead of a
randomly generated one. The caller must ensure that the UUID passed is sufficiently unique and is different for every booted instanced of
the VM.
Similar, if run inside a Linux container environment and a UUID is set for the container this is used to initialize the machine ID. For
details see the documentation of the Container Interface[1].
OPTIONS
This tool does not take any options or arguments.
EXIT STATUS
On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
