 Because of a problem creating the boot floppy images, these aren't provided
 at the moment.  It's a bug that the documentation still mentions them.  The
 workaround is to unpack and copy the BOOT or BOOTX kernel from the
 binary/kernels directory to a floppy, along with loadbsd.ttp from the
 installation/misc directory.  The other utilities are also in the
 installation/misc directory.
