Neato quickie way.
Get to an OK prompt (via halt or Ctrl_C in RAM count) Enter:
setenv floppy-boot? true reboot
It will as if you want to floppy boot when it locates drives..enter a y or an n..if you dont..it'll just sit there forever.***
You get your 5 item menu, enter on re-init drives choice.
At completion, it will walk thru a full setup session like new.
Now halt filer.
Enter:
unsetenv floppy-boot?*** (dont forget..or reboots will sit forever if you dont catch it) reboot
All done.
Save you what feels like ages in booting from floppy. (This only works if you have good boot images on disks to begin with)

Is there a simple recipe for doing this?
Just pop in a floppy and boot from it, then refer to the menu.
