Well, the FreeBSD's official mailing list is the best support center that you can have.... but we dont really have any such official indian (or india based) mailing list... the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list is what you can start from... there are quite a helpful ppl willing to help....
that apart, you can go through its official FAQ and Getting started guides...
Click here for BSD Manual:

Otherwise, remember
Google is my best friend !!!

I'm talking about FreeBSD in particular,( haven't got the CDs of NetBSD or OpenBSD so can't say much about them !!! ) but its Installer is quite cryptic especially the partitioning tool.... As for your hardware support goes, well cross your fingers... my comp uses all generic hardware, but otherwise getting drivers can be a problem since you have to get the BSD port of it, mainly from the FreeBSD site....
