Docs, what docs? We don need no steenkin docs! And even if ya do, you got something against Chinese? ..try http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ (which I got by foillowing the "Project > Web Site" link at the earlier posted site) Hmm, don't know where my previous binary went. Trying to rebuild the rpm or tgz is giving some problems. ==> But installing the prebuilt rpm worked, which gives a program /usr/sbin/sbminst that can write out the needed floppy. Running /usr/sbin/sbminst -d /dev/fd0 just worked for me. You may even be able to get by by downloading the prebuilt sbminst, doing a chmod +x and running that!
