I guess it's obvious I need disc1 and disc2. What's bootonly and docs?
Thanks

Found this in the freebsd handbook...
version-RELEASE-arch-bootonly.iso = Everything you need to boot into a FreeBSD kernel and start the installation interface. The installable files have to be pulled over FTP or some other supported source.
version-RELEASE-arch-docs.iso = FreeBSD documentation (for FreeBSD 6.2 and later).

Does that mean disc1 can't start the install without bootonly?

No, all you need is disc1 and 2 to do a full install.
The bootonly disc contains the kernel and other packages required to bring the install up and running, then the rest of the packages will be installed over the net during the install rather than from the cd.
