The two files you need are called kern.flp and mfsroot.flp; they're in
the \floppies directory on CD1. (Don't use boot.flp; it's for 2.88
MB floppies.)

You want to create the two floppies with the commands:

fdimage kern.flp a:
and
fdimage mfsroot.flp a:

The fdimage.exe program is in the \tools directory on CD1, and of
course you need to provide full path names.
