Sure, the concept is totally right. Actually I'm doing it like that. But the details are different story. Such as what bootable floppy should be using? If dos is used, what dos disk imaging software could read the m0n0 image and make the disk? I'm using tomsrtbt bootable floppy. Use mknod to create the cdrom device and mount it. Then do the imaging to harddisk.
