Macintosh Garden is a great resource for such things. But a premade image
might not contain the patched version of HD Setup, only the Apple original.
You could use an emulator, as I suggested, to replace the original with the
patched version, then write the altered image to a physical floppy.

I had hoped to avoid going to an emulator and the setup. But if this is the best way, then I will try it.

Off topic, are there good guides in setup of emulator?

Emulators work mainly with disk images (floppy, hard and ISO), although
they can also treat a directory on the host filesystem as a supplementary
disk (not bootable) as an aid to bringing files in. They have reasonably
good manuals to follow for basic setup, and it should be pretty self
explanatory if you try it.

I believe Basilisk comes with a suitable ROM to emulate a classic Mac, so
all you need is a disk image to boot it from. Thereafter, it'll behave
mostly like a real Mac (but probably faster). Start with the Disk Tools
disk to see how it works, or make a hard disk image and boot from the
System 7.6 install disks.

Mini vMac is a good nearly-turnkey emulation solution. Very simple to get going with and to use to set up disk images, even if you can’t boot some of them. (It’ll only emulate up to a Mac II, so it can’t boot a Mac OS 7.6 Disk Tools image, but you can still use it to patch the Apple HD Setup application on one.)
