the modern kernel and initramfs won't fit on a 1.44MB floppy, how could 
you boot off it?

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  4045680 Jul 16 17:15 
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16500723 Jul 27 10:39 
/boot/initramfs-2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64.img

(thats a 4MB kernel and 16MB initramfs)
