Could you take a look at section 2.2.1.1 of the Handbook, titled
"Creating the Boot Floppies", and let me know what you think of that?
You should find it at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/install-guide.html
If those instructions are not sufficiently clear, could you explain the
problems you're having, so that we can make them clearer.
Thanks,
