Looks right, as long as /fd0 is really /dev/fd0 (as in a symlink)

I wouldn't be surprised if they did, but the command line IS nice :)

Debain ReiserFS install disks - http://chao.ucsd.edu/debian/boot-floppies/
It even has the dd commands.

BSD filesystems - ufs (UNIX file system), ffs (fast file system)
ffs with softupdate is really fast and reliable, but not truly
journaling.
There's also some support for XFS, although AFAIK, it's not as stable 
as ReiserFS.  I'm not a file system guru, so I'm not going to try to
explain the differences in filesystems (google for "BSD ffs" will 
probably give you some answers though)
