I'm surprised the "Bible" didn't go into more detail. Without knowing your problem, it's difficult to say. You should understand that you're going to need a separate partition in which to install FreeBSD. I suppose the simple answer is "Read the file INSTALL.TXT in the root directory of the CD-ROM", but that makes assumptions about the CD-ROM, which I don't know. If that doesn't help, you have a number of choices: 1. Make a boot floppy and just try it out. Again, that depends on the CD. 2. Buy "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition (http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm), which comes with or without CD-ROMs (we're currently at 2.2.7). If you have trouble with the book, you're assured of my personal attention solving them. 3. Send a message to this mailing list describing in some detail what problems you have. You might fine http://www.lemis.com/questions.html to be of use here.
