With an old Debian not supported anymore, built grub (which won't build
on recent Debian) and diskimage/createimage.
Did choose not to prioritize grub because I had a working floppy image.
I have now updated the HOWTO text slightly.

With @ [vms$common.systest]test1.com etc.
Remember the space after @.
(And can only run one script after a boot, that is classified as a minor bug,
currently.)
