First of all, the Handbook which you can get from the FreeBSD.org site
is your best source of information so don't discount it.

Second, make use of searching.  Google will be your friend.

Third, there are several online publications with lots of helpful
articles on various aspects of FreeBSD installation, administration 
and operation.   One of these in Onlamp.com.  There are many others.
You will come across them whevever you do searches.   Read these along 
with, not instead of, the Handbook.

Fourth, after reading these sources, starting with the Handbook
and the man pages and on through searches and online publications,
if you have additional questions or need some more directions, then
post questions to the appropriate FreeBSD Email list.   Questions is
often the most generally helpful.
