However, when I do "mount /dev/fd0 /floppy" after writing the image with dd to a disk, mount tells me that I need to specify a filesystem type. I've tried ext2 and minix with no success. Thanks in advance.

Hi Greg,
One of the things you might want to try is in your /etc/fstab,
put a line like,
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 1 1
auto tells the mount command to determine the file system automatically.
