John,

Here's a link to an article in Linux Journal about
Grub.  The article includes a walk-through on creating
a Grub boot floppy to use when you want to boot up in
Linux (and then leave the floppy out to boot into
Windows).

http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue85/4622.html

I'd especially recommend checking out the article's
comment section for a comment called "linux boots from
floppy but not hard drive" posted on 5/11/2005.  The
comment's author lists a copy of his grub menu that he
used to boot into FC3 when the floppy was in the
drive.

HTH,
David Whitmer
