you are running on a linux system right? if so:
sbminst -t us -d /dev/fd0 this will stuff anything already on the floppy. once its done put it in the target machine and boot from the floppy. The Makefile is only relevant if you are compiling it. sbminst-static is statically linked in casse the libraries on your system are incompaible with the libraries sbminst is compiled against. it is used exactly the same: sbminst-static -t us -d /dev/fd0 in both cases you will probably need to be root.
