I think you may find what you are looking for at:

    www.bootdisk.com

There are bootdisk image files for numerous platforms at this site - OS/2, 
Linux, DOS, Windows, etc.

You could also send email to the person that hosts the site, explaining your 
situation, and they may be able to "custom make" a boot disk for your purpose 
and email it back to you.

           Cheers ... Gerald
