The rawrite.exe program in the tools directory can be used to write the
dist.fs image onto a floppy.  If you cannot get rawrite.exe and dist.fs
to a PC to try this, and have a floppy drive on your Sun, try this instead:

cp dist.fs /dev/fd0

I suspect this will work.  Good luck and tell me how it goes.
