You can place any compressed Linux kernel on this disk, and it should boot.
To do so:
Make your kernel with "make zimage".
Copy it to "linux" on the floppy.
Change directory to the floppy and run ./rdev.sh to configure the kernel.
Optionally edit syslinux.cfg to add arguments to the "DEFAULT"
line, or add an "APPEND" line with arguments to be appended to any
user-typed command line as well as the default.
Documentation to read:
/usr/lib/syslinux/readme*
"man rdev"
/usr/src/linux/documentation/ramdisk.txt
Source code:
The scripts that create this disk and the other Debian bootstrap disks
are installed in /usr/src/boot-floppies-* by the boot-floppies package.
