The following work for me:-
use rawrtie 2.0 (look for it in the net) to create an image file of your bootable floppy disk.
use dd-0.5 ((look for it in the net) to write the image to your pen drive.

command was :-
dd -if=wstartup.img -of=\\.\K:

where wstartup.img is the image file of the bootable floppy
K: is the dirve for the pendrive
