I managed to create Floppies from the IBM OS/2 disk images using DOSBOX.
Might be worth a try with these.

Either I missed it when I wget'ed it a year
or two ago, but I was
looking for Compaq Portable 486 softpaqs recently, slurped all of them
from ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/ last week, and it ended up being
almost 2tb with a lot more earlier ones available now than the last
time I tried it
And if anyone cares, you can't create floppy images from the really old
softpaqs on modern PCs. I ended up having to shuttle an IDE disk to the
Portable 486 and run the image copy program on there
