I think www.freebsd.org has step by step instruction. Then boot up using those floppies When they prompt you for the media just select FTP and it will do everything for you automatically. This should take awhile But I suggest you purchase a copy of FreeBSD 4 CD instead. Assuming you live in New Zeland you can proably order a copy of FreeBSD from www.everythinglinux.com.au or whatever.
