I think the OP was asking which "platform" to use. 7.0 is the stable release and you need the i386 platform. something like 7.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso is what you need -- burn this image to CD and then boot off the CD. The handbook is still an excellent resource. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook good luck, feel free to ask questions, after searching a bit. It makes us understand the question better and quicker response. Enjoy!
