No.  That might or might not work, depending on how the floppy
hardware is virtualized.  On the other hand, I could just boot
whatever Fedora I wanted on the real hardware anyway.

Why was the command dropped?  Would it no longer work?  Is there
another way provided to accomplish the same thing?

I think SuSE dropped the command too.  Debian and Ubuntu have it in the 
fdutils package.
