Writing DOC image in Linux
How do I write the doc image in Linux

How do you write a DOC image to the DOC, I tried using "dd if=linux.img of=/dev/nftl/disc0/disc".
When I attemt to read /dev/nftl/disc0/disc with cfdisk it complains that the parition table is corrupted.
Is there something wrong with the way I am using dd?

Yes. You need to use the DOS DOC tools to write those 'official' image files to the DOC. They're not plain DOC dumps, which is what you'd use with dd. That 'linux.img' file you're trying to write was probably generated with the DOS tools, so you either need to boot DOS and use the DOS DOC tools to install it, or reverse-engineer the file format and write a Linux DOC tool equivalent.
