I do the following, like Slackware:

Create a boot disk with LILO and a customized kernel. You
need at least the following changes (if it's modular).

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m -> y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM is not set -> y + CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=12288
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set -> y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m -> y
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=m -> y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=m -> y

Yes, I try to make it like my default .config.

Create a root disk with BusyBox, devfs, devfsd, and any other
useful binaries, and use strip(1) on everything.

And don't forget you can use fdformat with /dev/fd0u1722 (or
if it fails, /dev/fd0u1680) for the root disk.

Take a look at the Bootdisk-HOWTO and Loopback-Root-FS...

If you need any help, mail me privately.
