Note you must use a SCSI ZIP to install; when 3.0 comes around we'll have
support for the parallel Zip.

FreeBSD File Requirements:
  
REQUIRED:
        floppies/boot.flp (boot floppy image)
        tools/fdimage.exe (DOS bootfloppy image writer)
        bin/*
 
RECOMMENDED:
        manpages/
        compat*/
        doc/    (at your discretion)
        src/ssys.*
 
If you want the whole source then grab everything in src/.
