Doing this part is quite a trick, at least for me at the moment. I can
get new bootblocks on floppies only to have them tell me "bad
disklabel" when I try to boot them.
What I did was pretty nasty, but it works: I have a set of kern, inst-1,
and inst-2 disks with the original 0.9 bootblocks (v1.8) and -current
everything else. They appear to work fine. Does anybody want to donate
ftp space so that I can make them available?
