It's quite possible that the default kernel is not optimized for
floppy usage anymore, there are even plans to throw them out totally.

(as I understood with the effect that bootfloppy isn't possible
anymore than, that's why I don't like this idea - here's another proff
that this is still needed, and xen hvm systems also can neither run
real nor etherboot pxe at the moment)

Still, you can look in the README of the fai-kernels package, there's
a documentation on how to build you own fai-kernels, with only the
drivers you need.

maybe etherboot?
