rawrite does the same thing that dd does.

If you have a floppy disk image and you want to make put it on a floppy the command is like this:
dd if=/imagefile.img of=/dev/fd0
"man dd" for more info of course

Edit: It will come with every linux distro.

Not only that, you can use dd for a bucket-load of other interesting things. Just be careful, though. dd is very powerful and can very much screw stuff up if you acidently switch the 'if=' and 'of='.
