Section 2.3.3.1 Disk Layouts for FreeBSD/i386 paragraph 8 is shown below

You can use a commercial tool such as PartitionMagic®, or a free tool such as GParted, to resize your partitions and make space for FreeBSD. The tools directory on the CDROM contains two free software tools which can carry out this task, namely FIPS and PResizer. Documentation for both of these is available in the same directory. FIPS, PResizer, and PartitionMagic can resize FAT16 and FAT32 partitions -- used in MS-DOS® through Windows ME. Both PartitionMagic and GParted are known to work on NTFS. GParted is available on a number of Live CD Linux distributions, such as SystemRescueCD.

The 8.0 disc1.iso does not contain any tools directory. This section in the handbook needs to be corrected accordingly.

Section 2.3.7 Prepare the Boot Media. Items 1, 2, and 3 all talk about creating bootable floppies. Floppy bootable images are not provided any more starting with release 8.0. Remove all referances to floppies.
