There is no such thing, but this is how you'd build a minimal SYSLINUX
floppy image (remove the -s for better performance but somewhat reduced
resistance to severe BIOS bugs):
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.img bs=1024 count=1440
mkdosfs floppy.img
syslinux -s floppy.img
mount -o loop -t msdos floppy.img /mnt
cp bzImage /mnt/linux
umount /mnt
sync
