You're absolutely correct, and this even appears to be a single-floppy solution which is really nice. I have such an aversion for floppy disks and their relatively high failure rate (probably because all those I have are very old, and rarely used) that I avoid at all costs writing full floppy disk images. I find that either a boot manager, like SBM at only 30k, or a net boot disk using the software etherboot.org provided by http://www.rom-o-matic.net to be much more enjoyable than chasing bad sectors. The latter solution with etherboot does require a bit more support including a server to run DHCP and TFTP. David, the floppy disk hater.
