as mentioned below... the cd images are available. and then there is of course the huge freebsd handbook online that will tell you about network / ftp installations. ftp installs are pretty easy too. pc-bsd is a single cd free bsd setup too. fully compatible. rebuild the whole thing if you wish jusst as if you have a plain vanilla freebsd install.

The freebsd handbook is your friend. use it! :)

Yes, you can net install with just 3 floppies or a single cd. Just read the handbook for all your needs.
