in /mit/bootkit/vs2000/README:

To make a VS2000 boot floppy, simply "dd" the appropriate image onto a
high-density floppy.

After copying the image onto the floppy, you will have to edit the
configuration file in /etc/install/config.sh.  The easiest way of doing
this is to do the following as root:

        mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
        emacs /mnt/etc/install/config.sh
        umount /mnt

Below are a set of "dd" commands that you may cut & paste:

   6.0R:
        dd if=/mit/bootkit/vs2000/60r.floppy of=/dev/fd0 bs=20b count=120

   6.1+:
        dd if=/mit/bootkit/vs2000/60r.floppy of=/dev/fd0 bs=20b count=120


************************** IMPORTANT  NOTICE *************************
              REMEMBER TO EDIT THE CONFIGURATION FILE
              ON THE FLOPPY.  THE DEFAULT IS INCORRECT.
**********************************************************************

==========================

There appears to be no difference between the two dd lines.  I assume
the second line should really read:

dd if=/mit/bootkit/vs2000/61+.floppy of=/dev/fd0 bs=20b count=120

as the files available in this directory are:

-r--r--r--  1 14640     1228800 Nov  1  1988 60r.floppy
-rw-rw-r--  1 14640     1228800 Jun 25 08:57 61+.floppy
-r--r--r--  1 14640         845 Jun 18 23:07 README
