What is exactly your problem? Where does creating the floppies fail?
Did not typing from a DOS prompt:
d:\floppies\fdimage d:\floppies\kern.flp a:
and
d:\floppies\fdimage d:\floppies\mfsroot.flp a:
work? (d: is the drive letter under DOS/Windows from your CDROM drive)
Dragging, cut&paste them in Explorer will not work.
If you happen to have a Linux CD, it has another program called "rawrite"
which you also could use. If you still have DRDOS/Novell/Caldera DOS you
can use the diskcopy with the "diskimage" option.
If you want I can email you the "rawrite" program.
