OK, I like that trick too.

But to answer your original question, the general reference for creating
bootable floppies is the Makefile in

	src/distrib/alpha/floppy-GENERIC

Since you don't actually want to use GENERIC, you will need to either modify
the Makefile to point at your kernel or run it something like this:

	# make KERNEL=/my/dir/my/kernel

   --ross
