I think I didn't make my self clear, what I need is : In case the 
bootloader (grub) is corrupted, fc1 can use a boot floppy to boot into 
bash shell,  and the user can start the x window from there to go to 
desktop to start working, how can I do the same thing in fc3 ( The boot 
floppy won't work any more due to kernel size bigger than a floppy).
