I think you might be using the wrong approach.

Under Linux
===========
mount /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/images
cp bootnet.img /dev/fd0

Under Windows/DOS (assuming CD is in D:)
=================
Go to the command prompt
D:
cd images
\dosutils\rawrite
I think it asks for the image file first, answer bootnet.img
then A: for the drive.

You can't copy the image file to the filesystem as it already is a
complete filesystem and is exactly 1.44Mb, you have to copy it to the
device instead.
