Wile it isn't a panacea, a glance at the FM (the 4.4 doc set SMM in
particular) which can be---gasp---bought at a bookstore, will go a
long way toward explaining things like installation. That and the
FreeBSD supplied docs give you a fairly complete albeit rather
disorganized view of things. The major lacking is on some of the
device drivers that are neither documented in the doc set nor in
the online man pages (sound for instance).
Honestly, the 4.4 doc set (about 7 inches of manuals) should be
perused before complaining about lack of documentation.
