Firstly, i cant realy see why only 16M is getting reconcnised, are you sure
this is not a bios problem,?.
Secondly, you could install lilo on a floppy, along with any new kernel you
make, so what i mean is do your normal steps with make config/dep/ but use
zImage for the kernel, then edit your lilo.conf and replace;
boot = /dev/hdx # Where x is your drive letter.
with
boot = /dev/fd0
cp ./linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage to whereever its resting place is, possably
"/" or /boot, call it what you want, make a new entry in /etc/lilo.conf for
it, and run lilo, it will then install itself on a floppy for you.
You can also use an append command in lilo.conf for you memory.
Hope this helps.

Its certanly an option but not (i rather think) in the way you thought.
