>From my research, the 1.68meg format is possible on the vast majority of
current BIOSes and floppy drives, just not often used (or known about). In
any case, the disk is accessible under both DOS and Linux once it's been
formatted, and according to the pages on the Linux Router Project, LILO is
able to boot such a floppy (I haven't tried it out yet, but plan to). The
geometry is properly seen by GRUB when I'm in the GRUB shell, but the boot
goes nowhere after the stage1 message.

If your BIOS can be configured to recognize the geometry, that would
be possible. Otherwise, impossible.
