Woa!  You don't need anything like that if all you want is to boot. 
A "Disk Tools" floppy is 1.4MB and contains not only an adequate 
bootable OS, but copies of Disk first Aid and HD SC Formatter as 
well.  Copy it to a 2MB disk partition and add a copy of the booter 
and you've got space to spare.

The reason you might want 10 MB or more is so you can keep a complete 
copy of MacOS with a copy of Netscape and an FTP client for 
diagnostic purposes.
