FWIW, I think a floppy image is great.  I have a number of
older systems from which I cannot boot from the CDROM.

It's also desirable from the third party driver perspective,
as long as FreeBSD can load kernel modules of a CDROM or
DOS floppy in a binary format: it means that someone can
sign a non-disclosure agreement with a hardware vendor,
create a binary only driver, and then give it to the hardware
vendor to have them distribute in the A:\FREEBSD\BIN\
directory.  8-).
