Hi Glen,

Assuming you have a 32-bit PC, here's the link to the disc image you need:
http://ftp.dk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/8.2/FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso 
.
Burn it on a CD as image, not directly, then boot from CD and, with the 
help of the excellent
Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/)  
you will have
a shiny BSD system installed. Feel free to ask if you get stuck, but 
it's recommended you take
a look at the Handbook first.

Best,

--
