fdformat /dev/fd0
dd if=lnx.img of=/dev/fd0

or use RAWRITE2 to write lnx.img to a floppy, if you only have a DOS
or Win32 machine.

If this is really not documented anywhere, please file a bug in our
bug-tracking system against the lnx.img package.

P.S. Greetings to everybody from the Chaos Communications Camp, near
Berlin.  The LNX-BBC is proving very popular here.
