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.
