Any ideas on what could cause this? Faulty disk or drive. Floppy disks are at the end of their technological lifespan and many of the disks and drive units become spontaneously faulty. Try a different disk and make sure you can boot the FreeBSD installer off a different machine to eliminate the possibility of drive faults. Regards, Bill.
