rawrite.exe writes a floppy disk image from a file to a floppy disk 
byte-by-byte producing so the original floppy. Now depending what kind of 
connection you have, you may need to download (some?) additional files. 
For sure you will the file boot.flp - essentially the FreeBSD master 
install floppy to boot from it. Follow the instruction and *please*, read 
the README and INSTALL, etc. files before continuing.
