I hope this is the correct newsgroup for this!

I'm using AOS on an IBM RT (basically it's BSD 4.3 ported to an RT).  (I hope
this is the same AOS to which the name of this newsgroup refers!)  Anyway, we
have a serious problem with one of our disks and we need to boot from floppies,
however we don't have the boot floppies around anymore.  The saving grace to
this is that we still have ANOTHER RT which has AOS on it and has the sources
on it also!  Thus, I was able to cd to /usr/sys/standca and can produce all of
the programs I need.  That part works just fine.  However, now I need to put
this all onto a floppy in the correct format so tha I can boot from it.
(I also need to produce a miniroot filesystem for copying into the the swap
area so I can boot from that, but that's my NEXT problem!)  So...

How do I write all of this out to floppy such that I can boot from it?
and
How do I produce the miniroot filesystem I need?  (I've done it a long time
ago on a Vax so I know the basic method, I just don't know what files to
include.)

Maybe there's some place I can get a copy of the boot floppies and the miniroot?
(When I asked my IBM rep. about it all I got back, "We don't support that
OS anymore and we can't get hold of anything related to it."  Oh well...
