While you run the software on Windows, it is a FreeDOS bootable floppy
image.
Now that I've got a bootable floppy, I clone it with dd to an image file
and I could PXE boot it.
I'm not quite sure why HP didn't just make a floppy image and distribute
that back then.
I keep a USB floppy drive and one Windows system (dual boot laptop) around
just in case for situations like this.
