Here's a couple options:
1. Find another machine (at work? a friend?) that has DOS/Winblows or
some variant of unix on it, that also has Internet access.  Connect to
www.freebsd.org and read the docs to make a boot floppy. Note that the
procedure will vary according to the system you found as a surrogate.
2. Find another machine (at work? a friend?) that has a CDROM drive,
acquire the CDROM distribution (and preferably the book The Complete
FreeBSD from Walnut Creek (www.cdrom.com).

hope this helps...
