LS-120 boot floppy
To create an LS-120 boot floppy, ftp the image to the router's /var/tmp
directory and insert an LS-120 disk into the router's drive. Then, from the
UNIX shell on your router, change to the /var/tmp directory and issue the
following commands: 
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rafd0 count=20
dd if=install-media-6.3R1.3-domestic of=/dev/rafd0 bs=64k
