Another way to deal with this stuff is to load a very small initrd which
requests the second floppy and loads it. The small initrd only needs to
contain a single binary, which can be compiled and linked against klibc
for very small size.
If so, I would recommend loading the second floppy into a ramfs/tmpfs
instead of a ramdisk, especially since ramdisk support will probably be
discontinued in Linux 2.8.
