Creating a bootable CD

I need to flash the BIOS of an older PC, whose BIOS only comes as an image and DOS tool for flashing from a floppy.

Ingeniously, the BIOS image is 1.5MB. I cannibalized this thing's floppy drive a while ago anyway.

So... I know this thing supports booting from CD. I need to create a 2.88 floppy image to burn to a CD. I know how to do this with cdrecord, and I have a program for extracting "eltorito" floppy images from an iso.

I haven't found a bootable 2.88 floppy image though. I either need one of those (mostly empty/emptyable) or a tool to expand a smaller image to 2.88 without mangling the DOS boot stuff.

I'd really prefer a Linux tool to do this, since Windows programs never really uninstall cleanly.

Any ideas? Thanks.
