FreeBSD 6.0 DVD's will be released by several vendors
and will likely contain just what you said plus live fs.
You can find a list of vendors (not complete) here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html

The FreeBSD Handbook is the reference guide:

Browse through the whole documentation section of
www.freebsd.org, there are lots of invaluable info there.

Among other sources, these books are a bit outdate,
but they are kind of must-have classics for all who love
FreeBSD:

There are dozens of other great FreeBSD-dedicated and
FreeBSD-related books on Amazon.
