There are several excellent books around that will give you a helping hand.  
It is well worth going and paying the cash and making your life a bit easier.  

There is Absoulte BSD by Michael Lucas which I can personally vouch for and 
there is The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey which I am told is also and 
excellent book.  

Absolute BSD covers version 4 and the latest version of Complete FreeBSD 
covers verison 5.  Either will be suitable for your needs.  You cant go 
wrong.
