Nero has the annoying habit of caching files smaller than 64K with the
defaults settings. Either switch off the caching or use some other burning
software like CloneCD to burn the ISO.

Bootonly ISO helps you to boot up the system and enable the network cards so
that you can connect the the FreeBSD mirrors to download the installation
files which are needed and continue the setup.

On the other hand, the Miniinst ISO is a complete FreeBSD installation
medium. It does not contain the precompiled Binaries (as ports) which are
available on the regular installation medium. You can install a complete
working system with the miniinst ISO even if do not have access to the
internet, which is not possible with the bootonly ISO.
