Bonjour.  Sorry, my French is terrible.  But I will reply in English
-- hopefully you may still find it useful.  If you are just
complaining about the stale documentation, then you should file a
Problem Report or at least send an email message to the
doc@FreeBSD.org.  If you need to find disk images, then be advised
that the floppy disks are no longer being built for some architectures
by the release engineering team:

http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=188437

The images that are still being built can be found for i386 at:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/8.0/

or the corresponding directories for other architectures.

If you need floppies, you can still build them on a FreeBSD system by
setting MAKE_FLOPPIES=yes when making a release.  You may even be able
to persuade the release engineering team to build them if there are
enough people who still want them.

Cordially,
                 b.
