The sizes depend entirely on the amount of disk space you have.

You stand the chance of losing everything in memory i.e. since the last controlled shutdown. You need to login as root and type shutdown, or halt, or reboot -r now. Why are you continually shutting down the PC though ? > Also, is there perhaps a FAQ or giude to BSD on the internet that is > intended for total begginers such as myself?
