Mark,

I dont know if my solution is what you are looking for but here it is
anyway.  I made a boot disk for using on a diskless machine by 
essentially doing the same thing as I do with a hard disk.  
I created an ext2 filesystem on the floppy and copied the kernel 
I made to it.  Then I used lilo on the floppy just as I would 
for a hard disk.  And since I used lilo I can put the append parameters
in the lilo.conf I made for this situation.
