Go ot http://www.freebsd.org, scroll down about half a page, and look
at the section which reads:

Easy to install

FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including CD-ROM,
floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if you have a
network connection, you can install it directly over anonymous FTP or
NFS. All you need is a pair of blank, 1.44MB floppies and _these
directions_.
