You're going to do what, with your existing computer? Erase it? Then load FreeBSD? So again... if the computer you are attempting to use the two floppy disks with, to install FreeBSD, is not connected to an *existing and working* Internet LAN, then obviously it won't be able to continue on with the installation by FTP.
