Download rescue.bin from /dists/potato/main/disk-sparc/current/(your version e.g. sun4u)/images1.44/ directory. On a Unix machine just type (Change to the directory that contains rescue.bin) and do: # dd if=rescue.bin of=/dev/fd0
/dev/fd0 will be replaced by correct device name of your floppy (e.g. disk) in the Unix you are using. The boot floppy is ready. For a real base installation, you will need to do the same download and image creation for drivers files from same download area and also all the files in potato/main/binary-sparc/images1.44 directroy. Rawrite will work the same way for these images too.
