What you need are mfsoot.flp and kernel.flp not "*.bin".  Get them at
"ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/floppies/". If
you want to make the floppies from a DOS/Win box you'll also need the
"fdimage.exe" utility at
"ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/tools/".
