Well what do you intend on using as your bootloader? GRUB or something else?

Well here is a floppy image with grub preinstalled:

To work with the disk image you can use
DiskExplorer
Grub expects the kernel to be named kernel.bin and in the root directory but you can edit the configuration file for other names.
