  I wish to build a bootable floppy for PS/2 AIX 1.2. I would
  prefer to build this manually so that I can place useful
  utilities on it, such as dd, tar, ed, etc., etc.

  What is the procedure? I am painfully aware of the fact that 
  we may require a dual-floppy system and/or multiple 3.5" boot 
  diskettes. I don't want to deal with kernel slicing using dd,
  if possible! :-(

  Also, I would like to know the same procedure for System/6000
  AIX3, if it exists. 

  Please email me your comments. Thanks in advance
