Thanks for the responses shown below!

I too almost never found this passage. It is in the System Administrators
Guide under "Using Floppy Disks and Tape Drives". Good luck.

I think ``mkdev floppy'' does the trick.
It creates a single-floppy file system, with some (not all!) necessary
programs.  You'll have to scan it, and see if all's there, cat, ls, rm, etc.
etc.
