[comp.sys.sun] Making 'miniroot' bootable floppies - how?

sahayman@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Steve Hayman) (11/30/90)

"Installing the SunOS" suggests that you can boot the miniroot from 5
diskettes.  We have a CDROM here, and the miniroot binary itself
(/export/exec/kvm/sun4_sunos_4_1/miniroot_sun4).  Don't have any miniroot
floppies, but I'd like the option of booting from floppy.

Is there anything I can do to make myself a set of floppies like this?
i.e. "dd" the miniroot_sun4 and whatever else may be required to some
floppies.  (I suppose we could order a set of floppies from Sun but, well,
I'd like a solution sooner than that, since we're in the midst of
upgrading now.)

Thanks for any advice.  Mail to me and I'll summarize to the net.
