As I said - "substitute the location of your kernel as appropriate".
Just use the exact path to the kernel you want to boot instead of the
generic /vmlinuz in the "if=XXX" part. So,
dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-i686 of=/dev/fd0 bs=8192
Also - I should have mentioned before - your kernel needs to be below a
certain size (about 1 MB, IIRC) for this to work. If you compiled it
yourself, that's what the warning "kernel is too big for standalone boot
from floppy" is telling you. So, if you didn't see that, it should be
all good.
