On Solaris, the command is:

dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/rdiskette0 bs=18k
(or mfsroot.flp), etc.

Worth mentioning

State-Changed-Why:  
Finally got around to looking at this.  Do I really need the bs=18k 
option to dd(1) for it to work?  It's been awhile since I tried this 
on Solaris but I don't remember needing this option.  Thanks!
