The floppy image already exist. All I want to do is to put it
on some small HD's or CF cards and start poking at it. I am trying
to get it on a HD but I want it to be bootable. This is a area I
have not got into before so it is totally new to me.

I can send you a copy of the floppy image if you want to see it.
It is a amateur radio application (packet switch) on a floppy.
By moving it to a HD I hope to obtain a bit more space and in
fact if I can get it on a CF card then we get rid of all the moving
parts altogather.
