Everything you need for a net install is here:

 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE/

go to the floppies directory and get both kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. If you
successfully create these two disks, you will not be placed an an "ok"
prompt. Something went wrong with your creation of the files.

From there you will be placed into the installer. With a sufficient connection
you can then point at that same place to do an FTP install. Please see the
Handbook for other install options. If you have a good connection you can also
download and burn your own CD-rom. 

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/

is where you'll find the iso images.
