I don't have that info anymore, but Wolf Paul (Belated Congradulations, Dad!)
posted a list a while back that might help.

You make a copy of the provided one (dd or diskcopy)

You can't make a bootable 3" disk.  The boot sequence expects to find specific
things at specific sectors on the disk, and the 5" disks have a different layout
than the 3" ones.

PS. Ken Chapin did make a 3" boot disk for 3.0e (386), so he might have more info
    on this - Ken?...
