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'.
