Read FAQ, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html You can choose only bin distribution. Maby, good solution is to not divide disk to root, /usr, etc. Try to use only root. I'm never tried to install 4.x FreeBSD to such small disk, but you can try :) Another way is to use old FreeBSD versions or PicoBSD.
