I would select the ISO mode for burning the CD. You will also need to make 
the install floppies. Instructions on that can be found at:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/install.html

You can also burn a CD from an ISO image you can access at the FreeBSD.org 
site. The following is an example:

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/
