You should start with the Handbook and the rest of the online
documentation:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs.html
If you haven't found these already, then do yourself a favor and,
at the very least, skim through the contents of these help
documents. Then, you will know what is documented, where it is
documented, and how to find more.
