Sorry I should have been clearer. The ssto boot floppy initializes a ram
disk. Once you get to the shell prompt you can quite safely remove the
boot floppy and replace it with the aforementioned ms-dos floppy.
I've done this myself recently when a colleague needed a machine that
could launch the LAND attack against some routers in a test lab.
It was simple to boot one of the PC's using the ssto boot floppy and
then get the land binary off an ms-dos floppy.
