You can get the files you need from ftp.freebsd.org and the various mirror
sites (ftp2.freebsd.org and so forth).
I suggest grabbing the following at minumum.
FreeBSD File Requirements:
REQUIRED:
floppies/boot.flp (boot floppy image)
tools/fdimage.exe (DOS bootfloppy image writer)
bin/*
RECOMMENDED:
manpages/
compat*/
doc/ (at your discretion)
src/ssys.*
Read http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html before getting too far,
the files need to be placed in C:\FREEBSD, maintaining the directory
heirarchy present on the ftp site.
