 Robert:

 It should be possible to get a boot floppy for your intended Linux
install. I know OpenBSD has boot floppy images. IIRC SuSE also had
boot floppy images.

 Alternatively, you can try Smart Boot Manager

http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/about.html

EXCERPT:
SBM now supports booting from floppy, hard disk and CD-ROM.
