I'm afraid we now use two floppies.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.1-RELEASE/floppies/README.TXT
reads:
[For a normal CDROM or network installation, all you need to copy onto
actual floppies from this directory are the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp
images (for 1.44MB floppies).                        

Get two blank, freshly formatted floppies and image copy kern.flp
onto one and mfsroot.flp onto the other.  These images are NOT DOS
...]

Take care,
Paal Sommerhein
