1. I would boot from Linux Rescue CD, or something
such. dd and stuff is already there. 

2. Make sure if and of blocksizes match. 

3. Images can be files in one big partition, as in
if=/home/dima/image1 if=/home/dima/image2, etc. 

4. If you need to rewrite boot image often, then
boot from second partition, then restore the
image and boot again using LILO.
