Where to get / how to create such a floppy? (Like a
mini-debug-admin-system on floppy; that'd be neat)

Or you could use "cp -av /old /new 2>>/cp-err 1>>/cp-msgs" after having
mkfs'd and mounted the new drive. Then check cp-err and cp-msgs after
it's done. You could probably also use rsync if you have that installed.
