The docs should be laying around on the top level of the 2.1.7 tree, at
ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7-RELEASE.  

Floppy install is nasty, unless Jordan fixed it :)  The big key is put
bin.inf on the first disk, and the .inf file for the next distribution (in
order listed in the menus) on the last floppy of the previous
distribution.  Someone posted the magic incantation last year, it may be
in the mail archives.
