The boot.flp image is an all-in-one image. You can use it with a
2.88Mb floppy drive, if you have such a thing, but generally nowadays
it's intended for building into certain types of bootable CD-Rom.
To install the system using floppies you need:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.9-RELEASE/floppies/ke=
rn.flp
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.9-RELEASE/floppies/mf=
sroot.flp
These contain exactly the same material as boot.flp but divided between
two disk images.
Cheers,
Matthew
