1) On SUN Sparc's with floppy drive (you might find equivalent HP commands)
a) fdformat -d (formats floppy for DOS)
b) mount /pcfs (with /dev/fd0 /pcfs pcfs rw,noauto 0 0 in your /etc/fstab)
or mount -t pcfs /dev/fd0 /pcfs (with no fstab entry for pcfs)
c) cp the files over to /pcfs inserting appropriate disks
