Did you extract it on to an HFS partition? I'm not familiar with the
Linux version of Stuffit Expander, but I assume it would create the
resource forks of the files needed by MacOS correctly on an HFS volume
if you ls -a System \Folder you should see .resource and .finderinfo
folders, with the .resource folder containing a non-zero-size file for
the 'System' file.

burning the boot-floppy-hfs image and then deleting the files) then I
think cp from the HFS partition to the HFS floppy would preserve the
resource forks.
I haven't ever tried this, it would be interesting to know if it
works!
If not, another thought would be to use hfstools to do the copying.
But that would be a huge pain AFAIK.
The one thing you would be missing is the 'blessing' for the System
Folder - hfstools can do that - but I don't believe a floppy really
needs a blessing anyway.
