I use the install floppies as my rescue floppies as well. Just boot
as if you were going to do an install, with the root and the
filesystem floppies, but when the boot is finished, say 'n' (the
default answer) to the `Do you want to install now?' question. All
of the essential utilities seem to be on that filesystem floppy.
