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.
