I don't think so, but usually the comments are enough to decide if you need something or not.

You can burn the Qemu image like every other file, you can even burn it directly without putting it into an ISO file first. You should stop Qemu first though, otherwise you might end up with an inconsistent image. If you only want to replace a partition, you can load the image with mdconfig to extract the partition you need.
