Sure.  I'm sorry if I didn't mention this earlier.  The handbook talks
you through the installation process:

	http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html

You'll need to pull copies of kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and make boot
disks using fdimage.exe.  The web page above discusses this.  Note that
the boot disks are not MSDOS formatted floppies (you do NOT copy these .flp
files to a floppy).  You must use fdimage.exe if you are making boot floppies
under Windows.

Also, as I mentioned in an earlier message.  I suggest you get the compat2*
and manpages directories as well.  This doesn't take much longer to download,
and gives you some useful stuff.

After you make the floppies, boot from kern.flp.  It will ask you for mfsroot
after a bit.  Then the installation menu will appear.  Follow the instructions
(there is online help) and you shouldn't have any trouble.
