Been there, have a look at my patches, send to this list 3002/08/01. You need to prepare the dos image with mknbi-dos. On the plus side, you can have a bigger fake floppies: 2.8, 5.6 MB, created on a loop device, and being able to mount this ramdisk as C:, too. I'm doing BIOS updates on diskless systems this way, PartitionMagic, and the like... I would like to hear, if that patch work for you, too.
