When I installed 2.2.8 from a FAT32 partition it complained until I
renamed it to C:\FREEBSD
Maybe this will help.

HELP!
I have downloaded the entire 3.0-RELEASE directory from
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD and placed it on my FAT32 disk as C:\FreeBSD\.
I have replicated the directory structure properly, but when I boot the
install disk and select DOS partition as the install media, FreeBSD cannot
find the files.
I am running Win98 with a 13.5Gb disk. The FAT32 partition is 10Gb.
Can FreeBSD read a FAT32 partition that big? The LINUX installation disk
couldn't, so I thought that maybe this was the problem here.
System Configuration:
ASUS P5A Motherboard@100MHz
AMD K6-2@350MHz
64MB PC100 SDRAM
Diamond Viper V550 PCI/16Mb SDRAM
13.5Gb IBM Harddisk (10Gb FAT32 partition, the rest is marked as
FreeBSD)
I am using the FreeBSD v3.0 boot.flp image.
Thanks
