Again, consult handbook for how to install. Do not worry about your SiS 900 NIC for now, just install. Kernel customization comes next, not first. UNIX is not like MicroSoft products. It takes more thinking and knowledge to pull this through. Get your hands on some books first to get yourself familiar with UNIX. I recommend "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey. It is bit outdated but still serves as good guide for freeBSD. If you don't know what you're doing, then this book is your friend. If you want general UNIX knowledge, then get yourself a "UNIX system administration handbook, 3rd edition" by Nemeth, Snyder, Seebass and Hein.
