If I recall correctly, the 2.6 kernel has grown too large to fit on a floppy 
disk. 

You could always install an extremely small linux distribution to get grub onto 
the system, then copy to the hard drive the vmlinuz and initrd.img from the 
pxeboot directory under images on the first CD. Point grub at those and you'll 
be able to do a network installation, assuming you can NFS share the ISOs from 
another system. 

If you want to persue that path and need more detailed instructions, let me 
know and I'll write up the process tonight.
