The image is too big to put onto a floppy, an alternative is to make a
GRUB floppy disk.  You're putting a bootloader onto the floppy, which
hands over booting to the hard drive you want to run an OS from.

Try searching the net for information on making a GRUB boot disk, that
might find you something you can work with.  It's been too long since I
did it to remember how I did it.
