On Linux:
$ dd conv=sync if=install/bin/gdb_module.bin of=/dev/fd0H1440
On NT:

For NT Cygwin users this can be done by first ensuring that the raw floppy
device is mounted as /dev/fd0. To check if this is the case, type the
command "mount" at the Cygwin bash prompt. If the floppy drive is already
mounted, it will be listed as something similar to the following line:
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 user binmode
If this line is not listed, then mount the floppy drive using the command:
$ mount -f -b //./a: /dev/fd0
To actually install the boot image on the floppy, use the command:
$ dd conv=sync if=install/bin/gdb_module.bin of=/dev/fd0
