Then setup your net, and ftp install all the rest of the goodies you need. You probibally want to download the 4.2 -RELEASE version, then upgrade to 4.3 when it's released. The CD ISO is at ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.2-install.iso . Or if you really want to d/l the whole os by ftp, you can just make the boot floppies ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.2-RELEASE/floppies/ and install the rest by ftp, your choice. Hope this helped.
