	We manage about 30 3b2's here, and having a bootable UNIX floppy
is a *big* win. I strongly recommend building one if you are going to
be doing maintainence. You have to be a little careful, though, since the
existence of these disks implies that there is no security for any
publicly accessible 3b2 (i.e., anyone with such a disk can become
root on a system, mount the disk, and have fun).
