If you don't have a boot disk for your 128, I think you can get a image to create one from Gamba's site (http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/). Take into account that you will need an 800 Kb capable drive to do it (i.e., the later USB drives won't do the job since they only can read/write 1.44 MB diskettes). If you want to create your own boot disk from scratch, keep in mind that the latest System version that will run on a 128 is System 3.3.
