kernel is too big to fit on a floppy unfortunately.
If you can boot from a usb key, that will work though.

I suppose it might be possible to build a custom kernel that is small
enough and then build a custom fc3 install set that uses that kernel,
but I don't know if that is possible, or worth the effort.
