Comment(by splotz90):
The images produced by grub-mkrescue can still be used for a floppy.
GRUB ChangeLog says:
{{{
2010-01-05 Robert Millan <[email protected]>
Remove grub-mkfloppy. Images produced by grub-mkrescue are valid
floppy images now.
* util/i386/pc/grub-mkfloppy.in: Remove. Update all users.
}}}
And it really works ... I've tested it ...
So the command on the GRUB page simply needs to be updated from
{{{
grub-mkrescue --image-type=floppy floppy.img
}}}
to
{{{
grub-mkrescue --output=floppy.img
}}}
