Making a Floppy Image

I copied the contents of a previously setup floppy disk (GRUB + my kernel) onto my hd and then created a floppy image using bximage (comes with Bochs) but it didn't boot properly. I'm assuming this isn't the proper way to do it?

if you have a physical floppy, the best way to create an image of it is

Code: Select all

   cat /dev/fd0 >floppy.img
