boot floppy w/ dos and loadlin?

Would it be possible to create an install boot floppy for fedora using
FreeDOS in combination with loadlin?

This could potentially make Fedora installable if the bootable CD issue
ever crops up again (is that fixed yet?) or any other scenario where the
cdrom drive is not bootable.

I'm not very familiar with DOS or loadlin - but it seems like a
possibility that would work around the kernel being too big for a
floppy.
