I am trying to install from FTP. I am getting the error:
Couldn't get root image from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org.pub/FreeBSD
will try to get it from floppy.

I tried other sites and I got the same error.
Is there a way to create a floppy with the root image or
is there anything I could do to resolve this problem?
