Format a floppy, run mkdosfs on it and and add a copy of 'syslinux'. :-)
Your garden-variety Red Hat distribution for Intel, for example,
comes with DOS bootable floppies of that sort. Well, "add" in this
case means also a right boot sector. You can use 'dd' to clone
such floppies if you have one around.
I strongly suspect that they meant in a firmware update instructions
actually something else; but who knows, maybe that would be enough.
If you meant a floppy like one created with 'format /S' under DOS
then you run into problems with an ownership of COMMAND.COM and
other files needed for that.
