If you're new to FreeBSD, you should use 4.7, not 5.0.  5.0 is still in
the development process and is not suitable for all users.

If you still have trouble with the installation of 4.7, please post
details of your hardware to the list.  Otherwise, we can't really advise
you on hardware related problems.

Also, we'll need more information on why the FTP and DOS installations
are failing.  Error messages?  Timeouts?  Are you using DHCP?
