If you need to install it manually:

1. grab 'bootinst.exe' and 'boot.bin' off the CDROM or ftp site.
2.  From DOS (not win95), run bootinst on your FIRST disk.

c:\freebsd\bin -> bin dist, bin.inf, install.sh, checksum.md5
c:\freebsd\manpages -> manpages.*, manpages.inf, install.sh, checksum.md5
c:\freebsd\doc -> doc.* ....

and so forth...  This is covered in INSTALL..DOC.

Don't forget the inf file!
