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.
