Best place for you to start is by reading the Freebsd Handbook
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
and the Freebsd installer guide
http://www.a1poweruser.com/

Its easy to clobber the PCs primary operating system so before 
installing on your new Toshiba L675D be sure to create backups or better 
yet swap the hard drive with a empty one to play on until you have 
learned what your doing.

Good luck and enjoy.
