ISO format represents an image of a CD. If you have a Windows OS, use 
the CD burning software that comes with it to recreate the CD from the 
ISO file. Do not burn the file into the CD as-is.

Hi and welcome to FreeBSD!

Yes, you use your favorite CD burning software like Nero or CloneCD and
tell it to burn the ISO to the CD. This is a very common procedure and
should be well documented in the software manual.

After having done this you should read the FreeBSD Handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/
It should answer most of your questions.

the 1st iso/cd is bootable and contains most of the basic programs.

Exactly correct.
Burn them directly to a CD.
They are already bootable ISOs, so don't use any parameters on the
burner to convert them to ISOs or make them bootable.

Have fun.
