Something to write disk images from MacOS?

Is there yet something that a MacOS user could do to write one (or any) disk image to a floppy, like rawrite or dd? Does Disk Copy do this, or is that just wishful thinking?

Have you tried BootX? Try pointing BootX at ramdisk.image.gz (as a RAM disk image, no decompression needed). If that runs, then you are rolling. If BootX really will not work on your machine, then you may be a candiate for yaboot, about which I know nothing. Now, about those floppy images. Get

How do I use those PowerMac images-1.44?

I am exploring the possibility of planting the Debian GNU/Linux potatoe on my PowerWave 150, PowerMac clone computer. Booting from CD is a problem because it is a non-Apple CD-ROM drive and typical CD's, burned with the Apple CD/DVD Driver as the driver in the driver partition(s), will not boo
