After following the instructions for installing from a DOS partition and
partitoning my disk with FIPS the install utility on the boot floppy states
that it cannot find the necessary files selected for installation.  I placed
the files in C:\freebsd.  I also have a 1.2G harddrive and my bios does have
>1G support enabled.
