Can't get my head around that, Rick. :-) Just how do you use it?
If your bootloader gets blown, and you have to do a recovery, you put
the floppy in the drive, boot it, and you're into your hard drive Linux
installation, just as if the bootloader on the HD had worked.
As to making them, check this out:

Having a floppy that'll boot the HD Linux installation is really handy
if you need to restore lilo to the boot sector.
With my multiple-boot scenarios I usually don't have lilo in the MBR any
more, but on several clients machines I do use lilo as a bootloader, and
having the floppy has come in handy a few times.
