The mkbootfirm utility is used for creating a bootable firmware floppy disk
from a Digital UNIX system.

To create a bootable firmware floppy disk using mkbootfirm, you need a
floppy disk that has been low-level formatted.  For example, to
low-level format a floppy disk in drive zero, use the command:
	fddisk -fmt /dev/rfd0a

mkbootfirm takes one argument, which is the name of the firmware
image to convert to a bootable image.  The program sends its output
to STDOUT.  The following command will create a bootable firmware
floppy disk for a floppy in drive zero:
	./mkbootfirm fwupdate.exe | dd of=/dev/rfd0c bs=64k

where fwupdate.exe is the firmware image that you downloaded for your system.
