You need to have both icons handy so you can drag one onto the other.
I'm also reasonably certain that as such, you must copy onto a
previously formatted floppy - the copy with the old finder can't
format on the fly, neither will you have an icon to drag onto.

If I am remembering correctly, older systems
can't format during a
copy, but later ones can. What I seem to think was the single-disk
copying procedure is to eject the System disk (Flower-E or Flower-1?),
From memory of my junior and high-school days :),
Shift-Apple-1 will
eject the disk without removing the icon from the finder.
"Eject" or
dragging it to the trashcan ejects the disk and removes its icon.
