Which "RELEASE" are you attempting to install it for?
Are you installing via internet or CDROM?
FWIW you don't have to enter the floppy to install additional
distributions. Once logged in as "root" just type
"/stand/sysinstall<enter>" and you can go to "Do post-install
configuration of FreeBSD" and choose "Install additional distribution
sets". This is assuming that you have configured your CDROM or IIJPPP.
