It's not there.

Read the errata. On page ii of the book (opposite the title page) you
should read:
Important notice
A list of errata and addenda is available for this book on the first
CD-ROM in the file /book/errata. The most up-to-date list is on
ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2. Please check these lists
before reporting problems.

It depends on what you want to do with the floppy. Look on page 209.
With CD-ROMs, it depends on whether they're ATAPI or SCSI. Look on
page 175.
> Also I can see any files in my MS-DOS partions. Why and How?
Look on page 213.
You might also be interested to know that there is an index in the
book, starting on page 1689.
