FWIW, I just got the bl3-32fd.zip file from the baslinux.com.ru site,same
file size as what Sindi said.

Used a Windows program, Zipcentral, to extract the files to a directory 
on my desktop computer, via Ethernet cable.

On that computer, copied the Disk2.tgz file to a floppy.

Rebooted to a "restart in MS-DOS mode".

Put in a blank floppy.

Did the fdimage disk1.img A:

Did Ctrl-Alt-Del reboot.

Seems to be running BL3 fine.
