You can't. The kernel is too big to allow a floppy to boot.

In the last day or so I posted a message to this list describing Smart
Boot Manager, which you can install on a floppy. You can boot to it,
which will let you boot to CD-ROM.

In future, please check the archives before posting questions; this
one has been asked (too) many times before.
