Likewise; to 'burn' a floppy; simply insert it in the USB floppy drive;
wait for it to show up as a volume (or for the Error) and do a

	sudo dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/diskX bs=1500k

where X is the right (usually 4 or 5) disk. Make sure you get it right;
check /dev/disk* before you plug in the us. As it -will- zap an existing
disk if you get it wrong.

Dw.
