Wow that is deep stuff! If you take a look at the handbook http://www.freebsd.org you will see a link to the handbook on the side of the page. It will walk u through installing it. If you have any more questions please email the list and we will be able to give you a hand, but read the handbook first. Depending on what type of install you are going to do, you will need initially 2 books disks which consist of the images kern.flp and mfsroot.flp which can be found on the ftp site ftp.freebsd.org or look up the ftp site that is closest to your location. Get back with us and let us know how everything works out. Regards, G.
