In fact, Russell, installing FreeBSD v4.x requires the installer to know none 
of those things.

(a) If installing from the Internet via FTP (Highly Recommended)... boot from 
floppy disk, insert MFSROOT floppy when prompted, answer questions on screen, 
take all defaults for first installation (unless you have a small disk drive, 
then you may need to resize /usr to be larger).

Just installed v4.8 on two systems here and completed both servers in one 
afternoon. Spent most of my time doing something else while the software 
"installed".

Actual answers can be found in the BSD documentation which can either be 
installed and read in HTML format from your local system (the installation 
process will identify the location of this document), or you can read the 
FreeBSD Handbook online at:

   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

Information about device nodes can be found at the same site in the document:
