I wasn't able to get a hold of the original install cd so I used a 5.0 release from a family members collection. I attempted to remove 4.9 and cleanly install 5.0 onto the laptop but ran into some interesting errors and it has put me in quite a bind. The drive for which I'm wanting to install FreeBSD on has been whipped clean but the 5.0 install cd hangs up when loading device drivers for the kernel. At the moment I'm stuck on what to do myself, if there is a way to get the drive formatted so that I can try a clean install of 5.0 that would be great, but if not, 4.9 installed very cleanly.
