Why wouldn't it work ?  Unless you tell it differently,
BRU writes floppies in its own format.  You BRU the file you want to transfer to
a floppy.  Switch to the other OS.  Unbru to the target location
on your harddrive.  Maybe someday we can have a BSD filesystem
going under AmigaDOS, but this should work for the time being.
