From the MINIX install page:

The two installation floppies ROOT and USR can be combined on a 1.2 Mb or
1.44 Mb diskette. The .TAZ files must be distributed over several
floppies. How you do this depends on whether you have fetched the files to
a UNIX/MINIX system or to an MS-DOS system.

Example for UNIX:

        cat ROOT USR >/dev/floppy
        dd if=USR.TAZ of=/dev/floppy bs=1440k count=1 skip=0
        dd if=USR.TAZ of=/dev/floppy bs=1440k count=1 skip=1
        dd if=USR.TAZ of=/dev/floppy bs=1440k count=1 skip=2


Also, cyber from #NetBSD @ EFNet says split(1) will work (it also does the
file extension renaming).

The bigger question becomes: will sysinst accept the floppies as an
install media?
