I do not have a "compatible" CDROM and am loading bsd as per para 2.1 and have made a FREEBSD directory on my C and D drives (both recognized by the bsd system as wsd0 and wsd1). After logging into UNIX as "root"  I do a "/stand/sysinstall" command and tell the system that I want to set media. I set the media to the hard drive and then tell the system that I want to install packages, whereupon I am told that the system cannot find /packages/index and that is that.

 I had this exact same problem on 2.2R.  Here's the workaround:
 
 1) mount -t msdos /dev/<your DOS disk> /<a mount point>
 2) run /stand/sysinstall and specify your media as 'Existing file system'
 and point it at your <mount point>/<where your FreeBSD stuff is>
 
 e.g. in my case
 
 mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /cfat
 Existing file system == /cfat/FreeBSD
