Wouldn't "dd" and gzip be the answer here?  I would think that you
could copy just the first few megs from the beginning of the disk and
that would contain the needed code.  You might have to mount the disk
on some other system to be able to get at the sectors you want,
though.

Alternatively, I seem to recall that you could tell the config program
to initialize a new disk as (forgotten term), which would install the
firmware on that new drive.

Cordially
