It possible, using simply dd: an addon disk should contains a
little head with a 10K (for example) of info; real addons in the
following space.
# dd if=/dev/fd0H1722 bs=1k count=10 | (cd /setup; tar -xf-)
# show to user /setup info, like addon's content, etc
# dd if=/dev/fd0H1722 bs=1k skip=10 | (cd /; tar -xf-)
The drawback: the addons disk finish to be a true archive.
