Floppy install of FC3-T3

Hi:

I *do* realize that there are several ways to boot from a floppy when
you need to install a machine which is old, has floppy and CD-ROM, but
will not boot from said CD-ROM.

However, I am honestly finding the options rather confusing; and this
weekend I hoped to use an old box I just acquired to begin testing my
"minimal" install of FC3-T3 so I can rewrite my HOWTO's and submit some
suggestions to Bugzilla.

Would anyone be so kind as to point me to the right docs for the
simplest or easiest way to boot the install from floppy? I'm trying to
install FC3-T3 on a PPro-200 with 64MB RAM, a 2GB disk, a CD-ROM, a
floppy, and a 3Com network card. I do have another Linux server on the
network with FTP/HTTP servers... I do not yet know how to use NFS.

Thanks for any advice... I promise it will be used to test FC3.

Cheers,
