Which bit of http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html isn't clear? In particular, see the third paragraph, which says If you plan on installing via anonymous FTP then the installation floppies are all you need to download and create---the installation program itself will handle any further required downloading directly (using an ethernet connection, a modem and ppp dialip #, etc). So just follow step 3, which starts If you do not have a CDROM distribution then simply read the installation boot image information to find out what files you need to download first. and go from there.
