some BIOSes unable to represent USB-stick as ordinary
  hard disk with real geometry.

  instead of it I see fd1 due "machine disk" with 1.44M
  floppy geometry (80/2/18).

  I have tried to copy over floppy??.fs (which is in
  80/2/18 geometry) to USB-stick but it failed to boot.

  does anybody achieve some success booting using USB-
  stick emulated as floppy?

What kind of machine is this?

i386

"copied over"..how?
(there's a lot of wrong ways.  Few right ways)

"dd if=floppy??.fs of=/dev/rsd0c bs=512" on other box

"failed to boot"..how?

"Loading:."
