>Environment:
before install
>Description:
For install need floppies directory. Some old servers not have CD/DVD/usb and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html still have reference for floppies install.
>How-To-Repeat:
read ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.0-BETA3/
>Fix:
add floppies directory

State-Changed-Why:  
Indeed, beta's do not have floppies. You can find them in the 
7.2-RELEASE directory though, if you upgrade after that, you'll be fine. 
I am not very sure whether the 8.0 release will still have floppy 
support, so make sure to upgrade from 7 to 8. Thanks for using FreeBSD!
