It appears that the problem with rawrite2 is intermittent, but it was able to be reproduced.
rawrite3 is a de-evolved rawrite2, there seems to be no help text and the initial "pick a file:" prompt is floating out in the middle of text line 25 in the console.
Copy rawrite2 and the bianary file to a working directory with a good floppy in drive A:..
Then execute rawrite.exe it will ask for the destination drive whitch is A: and then the location and the name of the file to be written whitch is sbminst-static, in a few seconds it should write the disk.
Both those files should be easy to find cause rawrite2 in on the disk.

> > rawrite2 -f boot-en.img -d A Then instead issue the command "rawrite2 -f boot-en.img -d a" maybe the comand in the batch file has the wrong end of line character.
Or just dorawrite2 and the program will prompt you for file name and where to write the file to.

Unzip the bd zip file to a folder of your choice.
There should be 3 files: bdxxxxxx.bin (the floppy image) and rawrite2.exe (the image writing program), and install.bat which uses rawrite2 to write the.bin file to floppy.
Insert a floppy in drive A: NOTE: It will lose all previous data!
Bob, I tried, but rawrite2 cannot write my floppy: "can't figure out how many sectors for this diskette" And anyway, my W98SE doesn't even recognise anymore my CD/RW (and dannot find the driver)
