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.
