There's a recipe for making your own boot disks in format(8)

          Create a Plan 9 boot floppy on a previously formatted
          diskette:

               disk/format -b /386/pbs -df /dev/fd0disk /386/9load /tmp/plan9.ini

You don't need to use the web page.

Am I sure that the RTL8139 driver is in the boot disk kernel?
Let's say 99%.  I haven't checked today, but it was there when
I did the new CD image and floppy a few weeks ago.
