few methods..
1) Burn CD-ROM with boot floppy image (Use 2.88 if you can) and boot from CD
2) Boot MS-DOS and use syslinux or loadlin.
Floppy image is just a MS-DOS FAT system with syslinux.
Mount it on Linux and copy it to MS-DOS partition.
3) If you have harddisk, remove it to more accessible machine and
install Linux.
I wonder how did you do dd and where the file image is. Do you have CD?
HDD? What OS do you have working on the machine...
