Emergency Boot Floppy construction

Well ok. I went through the fine manuals several times before I found
it. (I was almost ready to post...:-)

I have another question in the same vein: Once the emergency boot
floppy is made, how does one go about reloading a full system backup
from the same floppy drive? In this case the boot device is the same
as the backup device. Is a boot floppy no good if more than a fsck is
required in an 'emergency'?

(I'm running SCO Unix, but I suspect the procedure would be the same 
Unix or Xenix.)
