To prepare the disk image for the DOS boot disk, create a system disk on a Win9X Machine so that the boot sector is created properly.

Then copy these files over, setting the appropriate attributes. (the attributes are called out in the list above)

Finally, use the imgtool.exe tool to create a disk image from the floppy.  Typically this will be something like

imgtool.exe \\.\a: c:\myimage.bin
