 This guide, will cover installing FreeBSD 8.2-Release from CD/FTP for the Intel x86, x86-64, and AMD64 platforms.  Since the variation between 32bit and 64bit is nominal, additional information or instructions will be indicated when applicable.
 This guide, will also assume that the general person reading it, is migrating from a Windows environment.  (ie.  Windows ME, 2000, XP, Vista)

 I guess all you really need now, is a brief thing about the way BSD names devices.
-fd0 is your floppy, cd0 is your cdrom, cd1 is your 2nd rom drive
+sc0 is your system console
-ad0 is an ide device (sata, pata)
+kbd0 is you keyboard
-da0 is a scsi device
+ppc0 is the parallelprinter port
-net0 is a networking card  -  Now, watch out here, cause this isn't always true.  networking cards get real tricky with BSD, cause BSD names them after their manufacturer (often).  So you may see such entries as eth0, nvd0, it's important to note which cards BSD supports for your configuration, as you can save time, and energy by letting SYSINSTALL do your network setup for you.
+psm0 is the PS/2 mouse port
-fw0 is a firewire device
+fd0 is your first 3.5" floppy drive if you have one

+cd0 is your first cdrom drive, cd1 is your 2nd cdrom drive
 ar0 is a hardware raid device.

 Once you have determined whether or not your specific hardware is supported, you need to find windows drivers for your hardware that is not supported directly by BSD.  Instructions will be given later on how to make all of your goodies work.
