- Boot DOS. Format a bootable single-sided 5.25" diskette (FORMAT A: /1 /S).
- Put your boot stuff on there. Boot OS/2, make an image file from this
- diskette (with VMDISK.EXE). You'll have a 180K image file. You can

- This should work. I made a 360K image file, by using an ordinary 360K
- diskette. I wanted some utilities in the image as well as the boot
- code.
