yup, in fact thats the best way to do it since you can use superformat
--superverify to make sure the disk is in perfect shape:

=== mkdisk.sh ===
#!/bin/sh -e

superformat --superverify /dev/fd0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=2880
hformat -l boot /dev/fd0
hcopy -r $1 :vmlinux.coff
humount /dev/fd0
echo "Floppy Created successfully"
exit 0
=== end ===

root ~/# ./mkdisk.sh /some/where/vmlinux-2.2.19.coff
