You would be better off using the official documentation for installation: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html Then, if you have any problems, the usual place to ask is on freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org mailing list. This group is intended to be for newbie experience discussion and non-technical chat. You'll find a lot of folks there willing to help with a solution. Good Luck and welcome to FreeBSD! Randy --=20
