If that is the case, my mistake. I haven't used a boot floppy since
2.2.2R, and wasn't aware that it had changed so much.

AFAIR, the boot floppy will refuse to install a different version of
FreeBSD than it was created with, unless you override it by setting
the ditribution name manually in the option screen. But it will still
kick and scream...
