>Description:
The documentation lists the URLs as follows (examples):

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/arch/ISO-IMAGES/version/FreeBSD-version-RELEASE-arch-memstick.img
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img

Which are incorrect for 9.0. The should be:

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/arch/target/ISO-IMAGES/version/FreeBSD-version-RELEASE-arch-memstick.img
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img

Also, it's probably a better idea to list amd64 as example these days.
