Hi Gary, Easiest way is to download one of the release (4.9 latest) 
iso's off of ftp.freebsd.org or mirrors.  Bun the cd as bootable, then 
boot up with it.   A graphical ibstall program guides u thru the 
installation.  But beware- keep windoze if you choose to use as the 
first partition.  it doesnt like being any where else :)  FreeBSD as 
part of the instal, will install a menued bootloader,       hope this 
helps     sincerely, Rob
