Dear FreeBSD users

I would like to boot and use the latest freebsd distribution available 
on an old i386 Pentium PC with no ATAPI nor IDE disk controller. My 
configuration is

DPT smartcache III SCSI controller on ISA bus
SCSI CD-ROM and disks
Ethernet 3com 3C509 on ISA bus

The 5.2.1 distribution officially support all these stuffs, 
unfortunately  I cannot configure any kernel because I cannot install 
any disk !

Could you please help me ?

Is there a site where one can download pre-configured kernels on 
standard 1.44Mb floppy disk ?

Thank you for your help.
