ok - I tried this too. But CentOS tries to find the floppy as /dev/hda which is not the device for the USB-Floppy. Dell ships one with the server because no one is integrated. So when I try to include the driver disk the installer is not able to find it.
So put the driver disk on a local network NFS share, webserver or usb memory stick. It doesn't have to be an actual floppy disk (people still use those?). I usually toss all the drivers I'm going to need for an install at work onto a usb memory stick and let the installer pick them up from there.

put dd=/path/to/drivers on the end of your entry at the installer prompt.
