I think you'll find the Bootdisk HOWTO helpful. With some effort you
can also find much information in the scripts used to create the
Debian boot floppies (in package boot-floppies).
You got some advice to try slackware. Don't listen to it! ;-)
PS: Kent, you remind me of myself. I also did this when I was
"young"¹, and it taught me a lot. Go for it. As long as the
number of questions grows much faster than the number of
answers you are heading the right way.
