First point : this is not clear. 
The guide only mentions the general link :
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/
and tells to read the MANIFEST file for more information. 

Second point : in this MANIFEST file it is written :
"hd-media/boot.img.gz -- 256 mb image (compressed) for USB memory stick"

Maybe everything is clear to you, but think a minute about the newcomer who 
wants to make a network install from a USB key :
he carefully reads the "network install" page 
(http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst) in which he is instructed to find the 
details in the MANIFEST file...

You can not honestly expect people to guess that hd-media/boot.img.gz can not 
be used for a USB memory stick network install...
