As such, it would be not very useful, as you'd most probably not be able to boot from such a disk. The msdos partition can be accessed using mtools, by specifying a line such as the following in your ~/.mtoolsrc: drive a: file="/dev/fd0" partition=1 (assuming it is the first partition) Unfortunately, I don't know enough about squashfs to help you there. You could always transfer the squashfs to an image file hard disk using dd and mount it as loopback, and transfer it back when done, but that is probably not what you intent. So, in summary, while it is certainly possible to set up partitions on a floppy, it is not a practical thing to do...
