No more cdrom? (It would be a good idea to get yourself one... it comes in
mighty handy at times).
Assuming that you can actually boot linux, edit /dev/lilo.conf so that
boot=/dev/hda
says
boot=/dev/fd0
Then put a floppy into the drive and run lilo (which will put a boot sector
onto the floppy disk instead of the master boot record on hda).
You can now boot from that disk and up will come the LILO prompt from where
you can boot linux.
Just in case I have misinterpreted your question.... you can go to
ftp.redhat.com (or mirrors), and download the boot.img and supp.img from
the redhat-5.0/RedHat/images/ directory (or thereabouts). It's then a
simple matter of dd'ing (or rawrite'ing) these images onto some floppy
disks.
