    Actually, I think you can just dd / rawwrite the NDIF image file right
onto the floppy. I think I actually used Disk Copy to write the NetBSD
boot.fs image to a floppy, and I'm reasonably sure that it worked. That
won't work with compressed images (relatively recent), but you might get
lucky with the regular ole' uncompressed ones.
