i'm not sure how to proceed.  It says to copy the 5 .flp fies to a floppy
but how do i do that , some files are twice the size of an 1.44 floppy.

You must have downloaded them in ascii, instead of binary.  Try the
instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html   Why
download the files from somewhere besides FreeBSD?  Either way, those
are the best instructions.  Also see
