See the cooker howto on the wiki, it basically involves loopback-mounting the image, coping the initrd image and the kernel out the floppy, and adding a lilo boot entry for it. Also, with this method, you can pass more options via LILO to set the path to your cooker mirror etc (I covered this in a mail on cooker a long time ago, I am not sure if the details made it to the wiki).
