Making 'miniroot' bootable floppies - how?

"Installing the SunOS" suggests that you can boot the miniroot from 5
diskettes. We have a CDROM here, and the miniroot binary itself
(/export/exec/kvm/sun4_sunos_4_1/miniroot_sun4). Don't have any miniroot
floppies, but I'd like the option of booting from floppy.
Is there anything I can do to make myself a set of floppies like this?
i.e. "dd" the miniroot_sun4 and whatever else may be required to some
floppies. (I suppose we could order a set of floppies from Sun but, well,
I'd like a solution sooner than that, since we're in the midst of
upgrading now.)
Thanks for any advice. Mail to me and I'll summarize to the net.
