Thats not going to work very well -- you don't have any swap space,
for instance. You don't have getty, or a ttytab. You probably *can't*
make it work with as little space as you have on a floppy.

The reason the floppy goes to single user is because init notes that
there is no /etc/rc file so it puts you straight at a shell. HOWEVER,
I'm not sure you *want* to try the exercise.
