I assume you mean having one kernel floppy and one rootfilesystem
floppy. We used to have something like that, but using that is also
a squeeze, since, for example, the 'tiny' install ramdisk is already
1376256 bytes big. So it won't fit on ye olde 1.2M floppy anymore,
which is a one advantage of the 'tiny' floppy set.

Tricks can be pulled like using a gzip-filesystem, etc, but.. maybe
next time :-)
