Not specifically an answer to your question, but, is there a reason
you are attempting a new install of such an old version of FreeBSD?

If not, I would suggest installing V 4.8.   You should have not
trouble installing things from /usr/ports or packages if you start
with the recent version.

I did boot from CDROM, but in the "Media" I had to put "DOS", cause my PC refuses
