As another person suggested, try checking out the FreeBSD Handbook at 
freebsd.org, which pretty much describes everything you need to know 
when getting started w/FBSD.

Since, no one has suggested this yet, I will:  you can go back into the 
installer utility by running /stand/sysinstall.  The installer comes in 
handy quite a bit when you don't know the actually commands to do 
something (ie setting up a network interface or partitioning a disk).

Once you run /stand/sysinstall, you can scroll all the way to the bottom 
and select 'Index' and then select 'Network Interfaces'.
