Where do I get another boot floppy

Situation:

I suspect my boot floppy is corrupt

My dog ate my boot floppy

Baron not only owns my files, but he stole my floppy too. The rascal!

Things to try:

1. Windows Users: First try the "BootImg\make" batch file on the BeOS Tools CD (The ISO section of the BeOS Install CD). Be sure to put a floppy you don't care about in the floppy drive first. If this complains, try the alternate instructions below.
   
2. To get a new copy of the floppy image, download it from:
   <ftp://ftp.be.com/pub/beos_updates/r4.5/R4.5.2-boot.img>
   
   We suggest saving it in your home directory. Then open a Terminal from the Applications submenu. In the Terminal type:
   dd if=R4.5.2-boot.img of=/dev/disk/floppy/raw bs=20480
   
   Reboot the BeOS with your new backup floppy to make sure it works.
   
   If for some reason you cannot boot into the BeOS to create your boot floppy (perhaps you use only the boot floppy to boot the BeOS, instead of a boot manager), you can still create a BeOS boot floppy, using either Linux or Windows.
   
   
3. For Windows users:
   
   First format a FAT floppy. Do this any way you want, but we suggest using the full format opposed to the quick format.
   Download and decompress the disk image archive, using the ftp link above, and your favorite archive handler. The original Release 4.5 floppy image can be made from the CD, but as long as you're doing it, feel free to try the newer image.
   Be sure you download the archive using a binary mode transfer!
   Rename the downloaded file to floppy.dd and save it at the root level of your boot drive for easy access in a minute.
   Put the BeOS CD in your CD drive (mine is D:, if yours is different, just substitute your drive's letter), and the new empty floppy in your floppy drive. Then open an MS-DOS command line prompt, and change to the BeOS CD. Then change to the directory BOOTIMG. Lastly, trigger CPIMAGE with the zbeos file from the root of the CD and the drive letter your floppy drive is on. My commands looked like this:
   D:
CD BOOTIMG
CPIMAGE C:\FLOPPY.DD A:
   
   If you are using the file on the CD instead of the downloaded file, you'll use this as the last line:
   CPIMAGE ..\ZBEOS A:
   
   After a few seconds of whirring, you should end up with a floppy that Windows can't mount. This is good. Now reboot with the floppy in the drive to test it.
   
4. For Linux users:
   
   The steps are essentially the same as the BeOS steps, except use this command instead of the BeOS one given above:
   dd if=R4.5.2-boot.img of=/dev/fd0

Resolution:

There were problems with the BootImg directory on the first batches of Release 4.5 CDs (as documented in the release notes), so it may give you trouble, but most people have success with one of these methods.
