The kernels are just too large to put on floppies anymore... Have you tried etherboot (http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/)?
The web site is a bit confusing because it talks a lot about writing PROMs but it also makes "test driver disks" or something like to test its network boot functionality. So the take home message is that you can use it to make floppy disks that make your network hardware PXE boot, even if that hardware doesn't know how itself. Some limitations apply I am sure, but I have had good success with it on arbitrary system. Keep in mind that it is PXE booting the node, so you will have do do the "Setup Network Boot" (don't think thats the exact button name) step that you generally can skip if you are used to using boot floppies. If you have trouble let us know.
