The boot floppy is used to restore the root filesystem from a backup.
It can also be used to do some quick and dirty work on the root
filesystem if it doesn't want to boot. If you are using a tape backup
then you will have to copy all of the tape utilities onto the floppy by
hand since the script only copies the bare minimum.
