no, but the CDROM has the kern.flp floopy which should be sufficient.
as nearly you can, interrupt the boot process using <space> then
you should get the following prompt :

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader
boot:

you just have to enter :

0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader

if that don't work, let's try :

0:ad(0,a)/kernel

which should work in any case.
