Your thinking is correct.  You should only rawrite the boot disks, the
other set disks are expected just to be formatted msdos floppies.

There are supposed to be some split up files that are in floppy sized
chunks, I dont seem to be able to find those for 1.5 at the moment!
No wonder you are confused.

Try:

mount -t msdos /dev/wd0e /mnt

they are named something like comp.aa, comp.ab and so forth.  I think
that the split files have not been generated for 1.5 because there is
not much demand for floppy loads these days.

Try the above mount command.
