As root, /sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/fd1 /mnt

Then copy the files you want with

cp /mnt/filename /usr/wherever

If you're really new to unix and freebsd you might want to look at 
the tutorial for new users at

http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/newuser/newuser.html

or on my own server at http://andrsn.stanford.edu/FreeBSD/newuser.html

I'd just send this to you instead of the list but I don't think your
return address will work....
