I haven't done this, but I'm pretty sure the procedure would be as follows :

- Install freenet but don't download a seednodes.ref, or delete it

- Start it so a node identity is generated (a file named "node" in the freenet
directory) then stop it again

- Make a new local refs file for the nodes on your LAN.
  This is simply all the contents of the various "node" files concatenated
  together, without blank lines (the last line of an identity is "End" which
   acts as a delimiter.)

- Name it seednodes.ref and put in each nodes freenet directory, start them up
and check after a while in "open connections" that they are in fact only
connecting to each other.

Depending on deployment issues you may find it more convenient to access the
noderefs over the LAN :
http://IP-ADDRESS-HERE/servlet/nodestatus/myref.txt

However, to do this you will need to (temporarily) have mainport.allowedHosts in
each node's freenet.conf set to allow access from all LAN hosts, e.g.
"mainport.allowedHosts=127.0.0.0/8,192.168.1.0/24".
