I'm thinking you want to use mtools to create a 2.88M image - then copy
the boot files to it, then copy the contents of your two floppies to it,
to create one large 2.88M boot image - then just use memdisk to load
that like:
label TP2104 BIOS
kernel memdisk
append initrd=TP2104.img
Check here for mtools info: http://mtools.linux.lu/mtools.html
