The distribution could reside on (a lot of!) floppies, on some computer in your lan or the Internet, on CD-ROM, *or* on a local DOS-partition, whatever fits best your hardware configuration. You do *not* have to install DOS on your target in order to install FreeBSD. But you do need a running system to prepare the boot.flp. This *can* be DOS but any UNIX-System with access to a floppydrive will work as well. I wish you good luck installing FreeBSD! Wolfgang Helbig
