Maybe rawrite won't but i just use
dd < boot.img > /dev/hdd
from linux but i use linuxconf to set up the mount points
first and i set it not to mount at boot then i set my
floppy icon on my desktop to /dev/hdd instead of dev/fd0.
using it this way linux can use it exactly like a floppy
drive or an ls120 it sees both types of floppies equally
well.
