Sorry, in the moment I'm not sure what you really mean.

Please verify that you did it in the right way:

1. Copy the dist files into c:\freebsd
2. Defragment your DOS partition with defrag and and shrink it with fips
   (You need minimal 100 MB, better 500 MB of free disk space)
3. Write the boot image to floppy with fdimage
4. Boot the boot floppy
5. Allocate the new unused partition for FreeBSD
6. Write the disk label
7. Install from the DOS partiton

The installation program helps to do the steps 5-7.
