My understanding is that the kernel and initrd are too big to fit on a floppy anymore.
Yes, that's the cold hard truth.
If you need to do maintenance to a system that has a usable kernel and initrd, perhaps you could create a grub boot floppy. The wave of the future is boot from CDROM.
A techie at a company I consult for, gave me a boot diskette that is a smart boot manager and can force a boot from the CD even though the CD is not bootable.
Worked like a charm.
I will get more info on this and post it here. Perhaps it could be added to the FAQ....
