I think 4.9 would suit you well at this point.

The Handbook is online and is an excellent step-by-step guide:

<URL: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html>

After you have read the portions that are relevant to what you want to do,  
you may wish to ask specific questions on this list.

Good luck!  I hope you enjoy FreeBSD.
