Sounded like you were frustrated and venting to me.  I cringed when you
said you took a few production workstations to install to.  Take one
box, and some free time, no pressure, start with the handbook from
scratch:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html

You'll be pleased with your efforts when you're finished, and it only
gets better from there.  As other's have said, it's a community of
people and we've all been there before at one time or another.  Post
your questions and you'll get answers, and probably in a more timely
manner than you may expect.  Don't give up.
