[K12OSN] Universal Boot Floppy and Hard Drive

Ok, two of the coolest LTSP tricks are:

Booting from HardDrive/Etherboot
http://www.peak.org/~mountainman/misc/LTSP-boot.html

and

Universal Boot Floppy
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80408&release_id=190646

I am trying to combine the two, and don't know where to begin...  The 
image provided in the Univeral Floppy is a .dsk image, not a .zlilo 
image, which is the type required for the Hardrive Etherboot...  Is it 
possible to convert the files?  A universally booting harddrive image 
that I could image with G4U  (http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/) would be just 
awesome.

Can anyone help me put the last few pieces together?

Thanks,
-Shawn
