If you want the latest (stable) version, its in: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.0-RELEASE/ The "floppies" directory contains boot-floppy images, which you can boot from, and then install directly from the ftp site. Many people have said that x.0 releases are not as stable as later ones, so you may want to try 3.4-RELEASE instead of 4.0.
