WHat means "floppy format"? You need to write RAW data sector-to-sector to =
the floppy (if I understand the problem) using
dd if=3Dimage_file of=3D/dev/fd0
on UNIX, or with rawrite on Windows.
  The resulting diskette'll contain small booting program which unpacks the=
 rest of the data (~4M, packed to one floppy) to RAM, then starts freebsd.
  This diskette won't be readabe nor on Windows, neihter on *nix!
