Assuming that Fsys.floppy is already running:

  1. Format the floppy disk: fdformat -s 1.4m /dev/fd0
  2. Initialize the floppy: dinit /dev/fd0

Now just create a boot image for the floppy and a sysinit file. Copy any desired utilities. For a detailed description of creating a boot recovery floppy, look at the QNX OS Installation & Configuration guide called “Making a recovery floppy”.
