Hello, from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.0-RELEASE/ERRATA.TXT : o DOS partition installs fail to find the installation bits. Fix: Rename C:\FREEBSD to C:\3.0-RELEASE and retry the installation. The naming syntax was changed to make DOS more like the other types of installation media but the docs on DOS installation were not updated properly to reflect this. The current sysinstall now accepts both locations, as it should have to begin with.
