I think you'll have to format the potential boot diskette with:
FORMAT x: /b /f:nnn
nnn = 160, 180? I'm not sure what formats 1.x supported.
This will reserve space for the system files which have to start at track
0, IIRC. Then use:
SYS sourcepath x:
I think the sourcepath option was introduced in DOS 6.x.

Rich,
Just attrib the system files:
attrib -h -s a:ibm*.com
Zip all the files to your hard drive
pkzip -arp c:dos11.zip a:*.*
reattrib the system files
attrib +h +s a:ibm*.com
and then sent the zip file to him by e-mail
He can then format a 360K disk and copy the files to it and
reattrib the system files.
Boot with that disk and format a 320K disk.
Attrib the system files and copy all of the files to the 320K disk
Reattrib the system files.
(I would make sure that the two system files were copied to a new disk
before any of the other files and in the same order that they were
on the original disk)
That should work "in theory".
