That depends on what you want to do.  If all you want to do is install the 
minimal install of FreeBSD, then disc1 will do the job.  If you want to 
install "extra" stuff (like X, bash, sudo, etc.) you will probably need 
disc2 as well.  Or you can use disc1 to install FreeBSD minimal, then run 
sysinstall afterwards and get everything else you need directly off the 
internet.
