You don't say what you need it for.

O'Reilly has the 4.4BSD-Lite distribution on CD-ROM, and I believe
that Walnut Creek does as well. This is source code only.

Walnut Creek distributes FreeBSD for i386 architecture (PC compatable)
machines on CD-ROM. This seems to have the easiest install (though
the FreeBSD install on the Infomagic CD may be just as easy--I've
not tried it) and it certainly has the best cover art. :-)

Infomagic distributes BSDisc, which has both FreeBSD 2.0 and NetBSD
1.0 on it. It's the latest release of NetBSD, but not of FreeBSD.
NetBSD runs on many different architectures.
