Unfortunately, the ISDG only describes the 386 way of doing
things.  I believe the original poster wanted to know the format
for 3B2 installable floppies.  I don't have a reference, but
if you have a 3B2, just look at the shell script for installpkg
and see what it expects, then look at an installable package
and see what's there.
