"Quick" boot from floppy?

[Rick Macdonald <rickmacd@home.com>]

I've always used lilo, but I installed slink on a friends PC and for now
he's using a boot floppy (to not interfere with his NT).

It boots the whole kernel from the floppy.

I thought there was a way to set up a boot floppy that somehow knows to
switch to the harddrive partition and boot the kernel found there. Like,
installing lilo on a floppy instead of the kernel itself.

Am I dreaming, or how is this done? I couldn't find this in the various
docs that I checked.
