We use SysLinux to boot from floppy, while others might use LILO.
That could be important. Some of the LILO flags like "compact" turned
out to be important for booting from a floppy.

You should be able to make the boot image work as a floppy before you put
it on a CD. The El Torrito bootable CD format is sensitive about the size,
you must use the same size as a floppy - 2.88MB, 1.44MB, etc.
