More responses:

mkdev fd

Then follow the bouncing ball.

You may have problems if you have a large number of devices on
your system since your /dev directory is cloned on the floppy
with the exception of /dev/root ...

I have edited /usr/lib/mkdev/fd to eliminate all the multi-port
devices so as not to fill up the inodes on the floppy.

look at 'sysadmsh' or something like that. Its the
System Admistrator's Shell. A program actually. One
of the menu options (its menu driven), is create a
boot floppy.
