dd and binaries

[Timothy L. Bolz]

I have never had the need to make a binary image to a floppy.  I'm trying
to make a rescue disk.  I never took notes at the group on how to use dd.

I used this
dd if=/cdrom/debian/install/rescue1440.bin of=/dev/fd0


It copied but when I use ls it gives me a bunch of @#$% garbage which look
like files.  Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to boot to windows
to make this image.

Also, isn't there a another command which can make a rescue disk.
