Alternately, you can install the boot image on the harddrive. It is a
different image, but works and you don't need much of a hard drive for
it. This can also be used to dual-boot the machine. Way-back in the list
archives (or maybe on the LTSP archive) someone successfully did this.

I figure a floppy is more likely to go bad than an hd, especially with
infrequent use.
