That file is simply a floppy image, most likely a 360k or 1440k one.

You can open it with mtools, mount it via loopback, do the same on
the Mac command line, or use whatever graphical tools Windows or Mac
have to do the same in more user friendly way :-)

As you will have guessed, the floppy image contains a kernel.sys or
a file of similar name which is simply a renamed copy of that file.
