I use that approach often. Likewise; to 'burn' a floppy; simply insert it in the USB floppy drive; wait for it to show up as a volume (or for the Error) and do a sudo dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/diskX bs=1500k where X is the right (usually 4 or 5) disk. Make sure you get it right; check /dev/disk* before you plug in the us. As it -will- zap an existing disk if you get it wrong. Dw.
