They all do. You need to read section "2.2.2. Before installing from Floppy " on the web page http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/x619.html The install script concatenates the bin.aa to bin.ec files into one large compressed tar and you can't leave one out. They have to be added in order and aren't random choices. You can add 5 bin files to a 1.44MB floppy and that means 17 of them. Once you finish installing the system, then you have to worry about adding any applications you want to use in order to turn your hardware into a computer. Doing "ls", "cd", and etc. all day long is not very interesting. Does the computer you are starting to install FreeBSD on have access to a modem or a network because there is a lot of material that you need once you have finished the basic install. This all comes on the CDROM's, which is the reason they are a much better point to start from.
