I recommend you download FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE, not FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT,
which is the developer's version and for experienced hackers only (see
http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ7.html#7)
For instructions on how to install FreeBSD-STABLE, please see
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html. Note that 3.3 is coming out
in a few weeks, but there aren't likely to be many differences between the
current snapshot of 3.2-STABLE and 3.3-RELEASE (see
http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ8.html#8 for why).
In general, be sure to always consult the FAQ, handbook, and mailing list
archives with your problems before posting to a mailing list - chances are
they have been answered (many times) before.
Thanks and good luck!
