Check out Doug Ledford's site http://people.redhat.com/dledford/
under the Redhat Linux section.

To create a new boot disk, get the image from the images/ directory on the
CD.
Under linux:
Insert CD
Insert Floppy (Windows formatted)
mount /mnt/cdrom
dd if=/mnt/cdrom/images/boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
Use boot.img for a cd install, bootnet.img for a network install.
Now you have created a boot disk.

Under Windows:
Insert CD
Insert floppy (format it first)
Go to the Cdrom, into the dosutils folder.
Double click on rawrite (rawrite.exe)
Enter:
 ../images/boot.img
and then your floppy drive (probably a:\)
Then you should have a floppy.
