Try dropping the bs=1440k bit. dd doesn't like it if it doesn't get the size
you specify, and since the boot image is 1468347 bytes and 1440k is
1440*1024=1474560 bytes, this could cause a problem, since dd thinks it
hasn't read a full sector ...

As for this, make sure that /dev/fd0 exists and is a valid floppy drive.
The only thing I can think of is that FreeBSD's dd works a bit different -
although last time I used it, I don't remember it being at all wierdly
different from Linux's dd ...

Hope this helps,
