http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html
Have to make corrections for no floppy install any more and add new figure for sysinstall select language of the handbook documentation 

2.4.1.1 Booting for the i386  item number 3, remove floppy from boot order and replace with USB disk or USB flash drive. Remove paragraph 2 all together.
Remove item 4.  Item 5 remove part about booting from floppy.
The last line in the exit sysinstall menu remove sentence about removing the floppy.

After Figure 2-3. Selecting Country Menu you have to add a figure about the select language of the handbook documentation sysinstall is to install.

  Modified files:
    en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook Makefile 
    en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install chapter.sgml 
  Log:
  - Change a section id to something closer to the real content of the
    section (s/install-floppies/install-boot-media) to ease the read of
    the file;
  - Some rewordings for i386 boot part to mention USB stick media.  I let
    floppies part since it's still correct for 7.X;
  - Updates of some boot messages (still a work in progress);
  - Add a screenshot for the keyboard selection at sysinstall(8) start
    which occurs if United States is not selected for the country.

From-To: open->closed

I added the related screenshot.  I kept floppy part since it's still 
correct for 7.X but I did some rewordings to mostly point on CD/DVD and 
USB media.  Thanks for the PR.
