No, it won't.  What is needed is a way to copy a Minix boot disk, (or
even an MS-DOS boot disk).  Debug can write just fine to a file, but I
don't know of any way to make it write to a raw device (a floppy drive).
What is needed is a clone of the Unix dd program.
Example:	`dd if=file of=a: bs=1k count=360`
