Thank you guys! At least, I got some idea where I should start.
Install manual has a section "Install from DOS partition" It said that
I should copy the /floppies/ to a new folder in hard disk named
/FREEBSD/.
Well, yes, but you're going to have to format the hard drive to DOS
first. And still figure out a way to get FreeBSD to boot.
So I have following thoughts and correct me if I am wrong. I do NOT
need an actual floppy disk. But I could make boot from Floppy Disk the
first priority in boot order and system will find the root.flp in
/floppies/ and start installation.
They might exist, but I've never met a BIOS that could boot from a
floppy image. CDs can do that, if the CD image is set up for it.
If you have a floppy drive, you should probably install from floppies at
least once. 2.0.5 doesn't look like it took that many, either.
