Hello,

Try to install FreeBSD first.

Once the system is up and running, mount the CD1 (mount /cdrom)
and go to the /cdrom/packages/All
use the command pkg_manage in the directory.


It is easy to install a lot (400+) packages from the packages list than 
porting it from the ports.


Hope this can help.
