[ale] Boot Floppy

Currently I use a 1.44mb boot floppy to boot my system off CD-ROM.  Modifying this floppy disk is time consuming due to slow nature of floppy drives.  Basically it is a ext2 FS with a kernel, lilo.conf, device nodes, and initrd 
image.  Is it possible to use a lopp device to create this image instead of a floppy disk.  Keep in mind that the lilo.conf states /dev/fd0 as the boot device.  Avery time I make a chage to initrd or kernel I issue the following 
command: lili -r /mnt/fd0 -c lilo.conf .

Thanks,
Chris
