You actually don't need to make a boot floppy to use kickstarts right?

mkfs.vat /dev/fd0
mount /mnt/floppy/
<generate ks here magically>
cp ks.cfg /mnt/floppy
umount /mnt/floppy

Boot to the install CD and at the boot prompt type "linux ks=floppy".

The bootdisk.img has a huge kernel and initrd so it's not going to fit
on a floppy ever.  To be honest I can't think why the docs even
mention it at all.
