Aaron,
(This is from www.freebsd.org... most questions can be found here.)

4.Make the installation boot disk from the image file:
If you are using MS-DOS then download fdimage.exe or get it from
tools\fdimage.exe on the CDROM and then run it like so:
E:\> tools\fdimage floppies\boot.flp a:
The fdimage program will format the A: drive and then copy the boot.flp
image onto it (assuming that you're at the top level of a FreeBSD
distribution and the floppy images live in the floppies subdirectory, as is
typically the case).
</SNIP>
If you don't have the cdrom then go to
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-RELEASE/floppies/ and download
"boot.flp"
Then go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-RELEASE/tools/ and
download fdimage.exe
Put these 2 files into c:\temp directory. Go to the DOS prompt and change
directory to the c:\temp directory where you have the boot.flp and
fdimage.exe file...then type:
fdimage boot.flp a:
Cheers,
Stevan
