Is it not the DOS directory that's wrong? From the 3.1 errata:
o DOS installation fails when you actually follow the
instructions to install stuff under C:\FREEBSD\BIN\... and so on.
Fix: The instructions are correct but the code was wrong in
3.1-RELEASE, sysinstall looking instead directly under
C:\ (e.g. C:\BIN\...) or under C:\RELEASES\
(C:\RELEASES\BIN\... and so on). Fixed in 3.1-STABLE.
