I think you've been mislead.  For "The Real Thing" (i.e., FreeBSD), try 
downloading these files:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/floppies/boot.flpftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/floppies/mfsroot.flp

Use this utility to unpack them onto floppy disks:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/tools/fdimage.exe

If you have a highspeed internet connection, try FTP as your installation
media, and install from here (enter this during the installation
process):

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/

Before you begin, you should probably read a little more about it. I
suggest:
