I am using the following command below to create a boot floppy file. Am I not doing the correct thing?
mkbootdisk --device bootfloppy.img 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL cp: writing `/tmp/mkbootdisk.Jb5537/vmlinuz': No space left on device cp: writing `/tmp/mkbootdisk.Jb5537/initrd.img': No space left on device cat: write error: No space left on device cat: write error: No space left on device

No modern kernel is small enough to fit on a floppy any more. If you really need a boot floppy (as opposed to CDROM) you can put grub on a floppy.
What, exactly, are your needs?

the error message sounds quite clear..... what part of it do you not seem to comprehend ?
how large is the kernel you are trying to fit on a floppy ?
