I've heard of this problem before but don't remember the solution. Try: 1. Fetching new floppies from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.6-RELEASE/floppies/boot.flp. Use binary mode! 2. Pointing your ftp install at ftp.freebsd.org and not any mirrors. 3. Deleting your previous install attempts and starting from scratch.
