I need to access an existing database. How can I Use Database First to create a boxes and lines model that maps to an existing database with Visual Studio 2008?

You must have .NET 3.5 SP1 and VS 2008 SP1 - that was the first version where EF was available. After that you will have ADO.NET Entity Data Model item available for adding to your projects. Once you add the item, a wizard will run and you will be able to define the source database for your database first approach.
