you also need rawrite.exe to write the floppy image to the floppy
and the .../bin/bin*.* files in a directory "c:\freebsd".
That is enough to start a installation. 
I have done it last week. Then I got the last sources and compiled a
new system. (About 12 hours on a 66MHZ 80486). With only one 
showstopper ( the missing eign file which one could copy by hand)

I have select the 'minimal installation set'.
