To create a GRUB boot floppy, you need to take the files `stage1' and `stage2' from the image directory, and write them to the first and the second block of the floppy disk, respectively.
*Caution:* This procedure will destroy any data currently stored on the floppy.
On a Linux, that is done with the following commands:
# cd /usr/share/grub/i386-pc
# dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
# dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
153+1 records in
153+1 records out
#A GRUB boot floppy is a great recovery tool.
