[wplug] Newbie alert - install help

[Weber, Larry A]

in the same directory as your boot image file should be a program called
rawwrite.  Run it and allow it to create the boot image disk you need.  If I
remember right rawwrite will prompt you for an image file and for the letter
of your floppy drive.
