The only difference between a 720kB and a 1.44MB boot block is in the
media ID byte I think. Do a Web search for the format of a DOS floppy
boot block. If you use mformat with the -B flag (I think) to write the
boot block on a real 1.44 MB floppy, it will adjust the media ID byte,
and then you can extract it for use elsewhere.
