If you want a 'factory' disk image, take a new floppy and use dd to make the image. Also, you can download some boot disks from the Internet. If you like an MS-DOS bootable disk image, make the floppy, say with Windows 9x, then use dd to make the image. I make my own floppy images and dd them to the floppy drive as needed to format the disk. I use dd, one reason for dd is - it fails on errors. The way I do it is different, maybe even weird.

I don't do it that way, formatting that is. Evidently fdformat does not recognized the file or I am doing something wrong.
