There's also a IIgs program that will create a 2MG disk image file that you
can boot directly from an emulator.  Can't remember what it's called, but I
think it's available on sheppyware.net.  Worked for my 20MB HD image under
Kegs and XGS for Win32 (though XGS won't boot GS/OS due to an emulator
bug).
