You can create a blank floppy image with:
dd if=/dev/zero of=syslinux.vfd count=2880
Then you can format it with FAT12 with 'mkfs.vfat' or whatever, then you
can install Syslinux to it. Then you can mount it and copy either or
both of the two aforementioned modules. When you boot the floppy image
with MEMDISK, you should see the Syslinux "boot: " prompt and should be
able to manually invoke those modules.
