You have a few choices:
1) if you don't have a CD, you can create two floppies,
    boot from them and install via ftp over the internet
2) If you have a CD that will boot, you can burn an ISO
    image, boot off the CD and do the entire install from
    CD
3) If you have a CD, but it won't boot, you can boot from
    floppies (as in #1) then install the remainer of the
    system from CD

See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html
If you don't know how to burn an ISO to a CD, read the docs for the CD
burning software you're using, all CD burning software is different.

It depends on the type of install.  A minumal is only a few hundred meg, but
a more practical installation will probably require a few gig.
