??? about freebsd 5.2.1 for amd64

[Foster, ThomasX]

Can you not boot from cd?  Which iso image did you download?

If you cannot boot form cd, try ftp.freebsd.org for floppy images or the
full iso image for your particular architecture.

how do i get it installed?
In  secton 1.4 of the install.txt file on my FreeBSD distribution (cd-r
with ISO downloaded from one of the FTP servers) it states 
"Build a set of FreeBSD boot floppies from the floppies/ directory in
every FreeBSD distribution. Either simply use the makeflp.bat script
from DOS or read Section 1.3 for more information on creating the
bootable floppies under different operating systems. Then you simply
boot from the first floppy and you should soon be in the FreeBSD
installation."
sounds easy enough, but the Floppies directory specified does not appear
to exist on any of my freeBSD discs (1, 2, and miniinst) nor does the
specified batch Makeflp.bat.
are they here or am i missing something? or does 5.2.1 for amd64 not
support floppy installs? if so, then how the hell do i get it in?
