If you did this, it would be 200 megabytes, approximately.  From
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/, you want the following:

FreeBSD File Requirements:
  
REQUIRED:
        floppies/boot.flp (boot floppy image)
        tools/fdimage.exe (DOS bootfloppy image writer)
        bin/*
 
RECOMMENDED:
        manpages/
        compat*/
        doc/    (at your discretion)
        src/ssys.*

See the Handbook and FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html.
