Why that version? I mean you could easily do either 3.5, 4.0, or 4.1. Just curious.

As to what you need to know. Well, understand disk labeling versus partitioning for FreeBSD systems. Do as I did and read the install instructions BEFORE installing. Those can be found here: FreeBSD Install Instructions.

These are quite helpful and I suggest printing them out to have on hand if you get stuck. Don't worry if you don't get it right the first time. IOW, be prepared to install it a few times to get the system setup correctly from the get go. Other than that...have fun!
