I haven't the foggiest.  I assume that you want to know how to make a floppy
that consists of a bare-bones kernel plus an initial ramdisk that contains
device drivers ... frankly, I've never seen the point in doing such a thing
post-install, so I can't advise you there.

Here's how I'd make a bootable floppy:

* Configure a kernel with all required device drivers statically linked
* make dep clean bzImage
* dd if=arch/i386/boot/bzImage /dev/fd0
* rdev -R /dev/fd0 1

Forget LILO ... you don't need it.  The kernel, when dd'd directly to a floppy,
can boot itself.
