That'd be a pretty dumb way to do it...



1) The bsd.rd on the floppy image is considerably smaller then the one on the 
CD.

2) USB thumb drives are more like hard drives, they use an MBR.. which one 
might want to preserve.



Using fdisk/disklabel/newfs and then installboot would be the better option....
