There are several ways to get it, depending on what hardware you have.

If you have a machine equipped with a CD burner, you can download the ISO
images for the current FreeBSD i386 distribution, burn them onto CDs
(total of 4 for the most recent 5.2 release), and install from that. Make
sure your CD writer software recognizes that the files you downloaded are
ISO images and not regular data files.

If you don't have a CD burner, your best bet may be to either order the
CDs from freebsdmall.com, or make an appropriate boot/install set on
floppies, then complete the actual installation by downloading the
packages you need from the net.

Instructions for getting and installing FreeBSD are on the website at
www.freebsd.org.
