That's a very subjective question, wouldn't you say? Since FreeBSD is
a community supported project, obviously some people in the user
community thought the directions were fine.

Following through the instructions, one of the steps is the following:
----
In general, to create boot floppy images, follow these steps:
1. Acquire the Boot Floppy Images
The boot discs are available on your installation media in the floppies=
directory, and can also be
downloaded from the <floppies directory>.
----
The last two words are a link which take you to the download site for
the boot floppies for the latest release. That's all you need.
If you have more specific questions please ask them here, and if you
can come up with concrete suggestions about how the documentation
could be improved then please send them to doc@FreeBSD.org. Your
feedback on how the installation guide can be improved would be
appreciated.
Kris
