This is covered in the FreeBSD Handbook
here.
You just need to download the floppy boot disks for your particular hardware. You can access
www.freebsd.org and find the links to the media for your hardware and install over the network.
Although, I agree with Neo. A CD-ROM is a way to go especially if you are new to this because you might be installing multiple times during the learning process.
The .ISOs for FreeBSD are available freely as well. I would suggest going with FreeBSD 4.10 and not going with the 5.x branch until you are into the swing of things.

KCM(8) BSD System Manager's Manual KCM(8)
NAME
kcm -- process-based credential cache for Kerberos tickets.
SYNOPSIS
kcm [--cache-name=cachename] [-c file | --config-file=file] [-g group | --group=group] [--max-request=size] [--disallow-getting-krbtgt]
[--detach] [-h | --help] [-k principal | --system-principal=principal] [-l time | --lifetime=time] [-m mode | --mode=mode]
[-n | --no-name-constraints] [-r time | --renewable-life=time] [-s path | --socket-path=path] [--door-path=path] [-S principal |
--server=principal] [-t keytab | --keytab=keytab] [-u user | --user=user] [-v | --version]
DESCRIPTION
kcm is a process based credential cache. To use it, set the KRB5CCNAME enviroment variable to 'KCM:uid' or add the stanza
[libdefaults]
default_cc_name = KCM:%{uid}
to the /etc/krb5.conf configuration file and make sure kcm is started in the system startup files.
The kcm daemon can hold the credentials for all users in the system. Access control is done with Unix-like permissions. The daemon checks
the access on all operations based on the uid and gid of the user. The tickets are renewed as long as is permitted by the KDC's policy.
The kcm daemon can also keep a SYSTEM credential that server processes can use to access services. One example of usage might be an nss_ldap
module that quickly needs to get credentials and doesn't want to renew the ticket itself.
Supported options:
--cache-name=cachename
system cache name
-c file, --config-file=file
location of config file
-g group, --group=group
system cache group
--max-request=size

disallow extracting any krbtgt from the kcm daemon.
--detach

-h, --help
-k principal, --system-principal=principal

-l time, --lifetime=time

-m mode, --mode=mode

-n, --no-name-constraints

-r time, --renewable-life=time

-s path, --socket-path=path

--door-path=path

-S principal, --server=principal

-t keytab, --keytab=keytab
