I'll assume you're talking about the anchor bolts that you want to put into the foundation, onto which the bottom plate will be attached. If that's the case, a good rule of thumb is about every 3 - 4 ft. Just make sure they're large enough to clamp the plate down well and you should be alright.

In California the code requires 5/8" x 10" anchor bolts at 6' on center, with a bolt within 6" of each end of each board.
