How do I use dd to write a floppy image .img

#dd if=floppy.img od=/dev/fd0
will usually do the trick. Do this as root from the commandline or in a terminal window.

Shouldn't that be of= ?
#dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/fd0

I could be wrong.

I thought I was wrong once. But, of course, I was mistaken.

It should be "of=" . (the keys are so close together...)
