You may find that the easiest way to get FreeBSD installed at this point is to return your powerpak to Amazon and get a corrected version of 3.3 powerpak from Walnut Creek CD-ROM, www.cdrom.com I just think it will be faster for you to do that instead of insisting (rightly) that Amazon get the fixed 3.3 discs from WC and then sending them to you. My understanding is that since Walnut Creek publishes the discs, Amazon is just a third party, and thus going through them will take more time that just going directly to the source, WC. Good Luck!
