 Ignore that, it's way too complicated than it needs to be to boot a system via 
floppies.

 That is the simplest method of booting linux. It takes more floppies, but not 
so archaic messing around with Grub.
 You can get rawrite for Windows NT/2K/XP so you don't have to reboot into a 
DOS mode to create the floppies, and then just go through loading them all on 
the machine you want to install Linux on.

 I used that 'tip' to get Gentoo installing on an old P133 with no CDROM, 
worked no problems.
