Thanks for the pointer. This is what I was looking for. I ran:
mkboot /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17-686-smp
However, this creates a floppy that panics when it tries to mount the
root filesystem. Something about device 302. My root filesystem is on
/dev/hda2. I tried adding the -r /dev/hda2 option to no avail.
Thoughts?

Another good pointer. Any suggestions on its use? I tried it with the
lilo loader, and it wants a file called root.bin which is nowhere to
be seen. The man page does not indicate how to make it, nor does
/usr/share/doc/mkrboot offer any examples (I suppose I should write up
a bug report against mkrboot for that).
