Take a look at the HOWTO's from attachment for using a Loader.
To make a boot diskette under MS-DOS, use the rawrite utility included on
the Red Hat Linux CD in the dosutils directory. First, label a blank,
formatted 3.5-inch diskette appropriately (eg. ``Boot Diskette'',
``Supplemental Diskette'', etc). Insert it into the diskette drive. Then,
use the following commands (assuming your CD is drive d:):
C:\> d:
D:\> cd \dosutils
D:\dosutils> rawrite
Enter disk image source file name: ..\images\boot.img
Enter target diskette drive: a:
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and
press --ENTER-- : [Enter]
D:\dosutils>
rawrite first asks you for the filename of a diskette image; enter the
directory and name of the image you wish to write (for example,
..\images\boot.img). Then rawrite asks for a diskette drive to write the
image to; enter a:. Finally, rawrite asks for confirmation that a formatted
diskette is in the drive you've selected. After pressing [Enter] to confirm,
rawrite copies the image file onto the diskette. If you need to make another
diskette, label another diskette, and run rawrite again, specifying the
appropriate image file.
