It's the best part of FreeBSD's docs. Check it out at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html If you still have problems then try http://www.vmunix.com/fbsd-book The instructions here include screen shots. It's good to read this stuff to make sure you do it right (also buy a copy of Greg Leheys "Complete FreeBSD" book). But, just to save you some time right now, I'll tell you that boot.flp is a floppy image for a 2.88Mb disk. For 1.44Mb disks you need to make two disks. Use the fdimage.exe in the tools folder and use the images kern.flp and mfsroot.flp to make your disks. Boot off the kern.flp and you will be prompted to insert the mfsroot.flp. Also, you might consider getting the CDROMs. I paid 29 bucks for mine at Fry's Electronics (here in California) and it saved me tons of time in downloading and in waiting for slooooowwwww floppys. Keep in mind that FreeBSD is a reading-intensive OS. You will do a lot more reading to get it to work for you.
