OK, this time I will type more slowly and proof read it before I press
send :)
mkbootdisk exists (see the above link), but the kernel is too large to
fit on a floppy, so the image created will not fit on a floppy.
You must be root to use mkbootdisk (or use /sbin/mkbootdisk)
You will have to use the --iso option and create either a CD, usb key,
or other > 2mb device image
Many PCs BIOS settings don't allow booting from a usb key.
