Choose your closest mirror and look at the following path
ftp://ftp9.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.9-RELEASE/floppies

You also have to choose which release you are going to install as part 
of the path.

The directory has a boot.flp and mfsroot.flp. The README.TXT tells you 
how to write the images to a floppy.I always did wrote them on a W2K 
Server using ../tools/fdimage.exe.

After you have loaded the 2nd floppy, you are just like you had booted 
from the CD-ROM.
