Hi Mike, You could use a win98 boot floppy to get to the CD but the
other way is to go to www.freebsd.org and search the handbook for
installing from floppy. You will need to create two floppies boot.flp
and ...uh..something else with the .flp extension that is on the freebsd
cdrom. Thatis how I always do it.

Hope it helps,
