There aren't any boot floppies available now, unless you want to install 2.2.8. (which uses the old SCSI layer) Once we check in the Tekram/AMD driver, it should only be a day or two before it pops up in one of the 3.1-stable or 4.0-current snapshots. Until Justin's review is complete, the drivers are only available in patch form, so you'd need a running FreeBSD box to compile them on.
