First, such questions have a better chance of being answered in the
freebsd-questions mailing list.  The freebsd-doc mailing list is meant for 
people creating freebsd documentation.

That said, lets try answer your question:

1. Did you download it in `binary' mode using FTP?  `ascii' mode wont
   work.
2. Did you use `rawrite' under DOS or `dd' under UNIX to get the image
   onto the floppy?  Plain `copy' under DOS won't work.
3. Did you use a good floppy without any bad sectors?  

The floppy image /is/ exactly 1.44 MB in size, so try again, you'll be
successful.
