Look for the ProDOS/HFS Partition Table Generator...third entry on the page. 
Once you have your ProDOS filesystem images (generated however you like),
concatenate them with a partition table stuck before them.  Burn the
resulting image with whatever software you have for that purpose.  At one
point, I extracted System 6.0.1 floppy images from the files Apple makes
available on its website and made a bootable CD suitable for doing a clean
install (or an upgrade) on a IIGS.  (I'm not entirely sure where that CD is
hiding, as all of my Apple II stuff is put away right now.)
