Yes, that way you'll have a good fallback kernel. This thing

Anyway, to create a bootable floppy, I do:
1 - grab Debian's boot-floppy-hfs.img;
2 - compile your own kernel with the usual procedure;
3 - gzip the vmlinux file that will be created;
4 - use hfsutils's hmount to mount the floppy;
5 - copy the vmlinux.gz to replace the floppy's zImage;
6 - humount the floppy;
7 - install the modules;
8 - boot the machine with your brand new floppy.
