You can't. The kernel is too large for a floppy.

But you can make a GRUB boot disk (google for this, someone will explain how to do this better than I could). This contains enough to boot from a drive in most circumstances.

For cases where you're trying to recover a system that's failed, the
rescue disc is probably what you want (the smaller Fedora ISO file).
This is what I meant, sorry for asking in a confusing way. The GRUB boot disk. :)
