I can find info files for everything except the *2 things* I : want to look at. This isn't a direct answer to your question because I'm new to FreeBSD, too. But what I've done each time I've installed a new *nix OS, is issue a "ls -lR > INDEX" command from the root directory. This gives you a complete listing of all the files on the new system. When I need to find something, I "more /INDEX" and search for the string/file in question. This works a heckuvalot better than trying to find something with "which" or "whereis".
