Really worth trying! I think I can use xstreamtodev[1] as a dd replacement for AmigaOS. It is included as part of NetBSD/amiga installation utilities. Let me know if there are other dd-like tools for AmigaOS. I am glad my Linux Swap partition is 256 MB.

Simple enough! I will test that in the meantime the hd-media image is ready and report back. Thanks for sharing the trick.
