GRUB and virtual floppy under Linux...

[Alboin]

I've been trying to get my osdev environment (GRUB, and my simple kernel.bin) setup on my new Linux system, but have been having troubles with my lack of floppy drive. I created a floppy image. (A simple file.) Yet, to copy my kernel to / of the mounted file, I have to mount the image under root, and then copy the file over, which means that I can't test my OS under my normal user.

Is there any way to copy a file into a virtual file system without using root or any real hardware? Any ideas?

Edit: Reading the wiki might have been a good idea. mcopy was what I needed...Sorry...
