The system should be configured, so you should be able to just boot that
disk and set up apache manually.  If you need to, you can use the boot
floppy to boot FreeBSD by typing

wd(1,a)/kernel

at the Boot: prompt.

You may wish to install BootEasy to give you a choice between DOS and
FreeBSD.  To do this, fetch bootinst.exe and boot.bin from the /tools
directory from the CD or FTP site, then run bootinst on the DOS disk.
Reboot and it should work.
