Burn it on a CD as image, not directly, then boot from CD and, with the help of the excellent Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/) you will have a shiny BSD system installed. Feel free to ask if you get stuck, but it's recommended you take a look at the Handbook first. Best, -- Rares Aioanei
