The files contained in this package are used to IPL the Hercules
emulator.

+Taken from the Hercules FAQ:

+3. Alternatively, you can download the mftr33.tar.gz package which
+contains a minimal MFT system on a 3330 image, with some minimal
+documentation. The configuration is that of a 370/145 with 2
+megabytes of main storage, running OS/MFT Release 21.0, with several
+volumes of pre-loaded DASD. 2 program partitions (P0 and P1) have
+been genned. There is no working TOD clock, and no SMF. Volume
+DLIB01 which is specified does not exist in the zipped file, but can
+be created using a plf file with the CDROM of OS/360. DLIB01 can be
+commented-out from the config (cnf) file if desired. The mftr33
+package also includes the IPL text and program for the standalone
+IBCDASD program as file "ibcdasdi.rdr" which can be used if desired.
