As you have experiences with Ubuntu, maybe you're interested
in giving VirtualBSD a try? It's a preinstalled and preconfigured
image containing a FreeBSD installation. You can "play" it
with Virtualbox.

http://www.virtualbsd.info/

You can find instructions and screenshots on that web page.

Regarding the installation of a "normal" FreeBSD OS, refer
to the handbook with explains the basic steps of installation
and configuration.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html

You need to properly configure your virtual environment and
pay attention to 32/64 bit when doing so. The "bootonly" image
is typically used to install the system via network, there are
no installation datasets on that media. The CD1 and DVD1 media
images will be the ones used in typical installations.
