I have a section with instructions for creating a boot disk at:
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/install/floppies.htm
There is also the generic one which you can download and at:
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/win98_img.exe
Just insert and floppy and run the program after you download it. This will automatically format, copy the files to the floppy disk.
There are a lot of the DOS utilities there that don't normally get added when you make one from Win98. For example Diskcopy, Doskey, Format, More, Move, Sys, Edit, Chkdsk, Deltree, Extract, Updated Fdisk, Attrib, Label, Mem, Scandisk, Scanreg, Smartdrv and Xcopy.
Not only are there more utilities on there but it starts much faster since it doesn't have to create the RAM disk and then expand the cab file from the floppy to that RAM disk.
It automatically loads with support for a generic CD ROM and assigns it the drive letter of X:
There is also a CD ROM boot image you can download at:
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/win_boot.iso
In addition to all the other DOS utilities, the CD version also has:
DELPART - For deleting DOS and NTFS partitions. Can delete extended NTFS partitions.
FDISK121 - FDISK with additional options - See the documentation, and
READNTFS - Read and Copy files on a NTFS partition.
The CD image needs to be burned using a program that recognized ISO images.
