Ok I think I see the overall picture now. Basically 2.2 and the old bf24 are the only kernels small enough to fit on a floppy. Booting from cds is not an option because that requires a proprietary bootloader. Are the following situations possible. Boot from floppy -> Quik -> use quik to start up Cdrom, or boot from floppy -> yaboot2 -> use yaboot2 to kickstart cd.
