That file hd.img is a 1.4 meg file one puts on a floppy to boot and begin the
install from a harddrive after they have downloaded all those 8.0 files in
all those directories. You transfere it to a floppy by typing into a
terminal:
dd if=hd.img of=/dev/fd0 (or /mnt/floppy).
others: cdrom.img and network.img
