See the Handbook, section 10.5.9.5 on creating an emergency recovery disk.
Also, the combination of the install boot floppy and fixit floppy can get

Install booteasy.  Copy bootinst.exe and boot.bin to your hard drive and
run bootinst  whilst running DOS 6.x, or disable boot sector locking
with the 'lock' command under Win95 (untested).
