[ale] Boot "loader" floppy (not image / rescue) with RedHat 7.2 ?

Taking an on-line class that will use RedHat, and I'm trying to avoid the
hassles of triple booting. During a Mandrake install it offers to put the
loader on a floppy. This works great for playing with new versions, keeping
them (mostly) separate, and the original loader safe from being filled with
garbage.
All I'm finding with Google are traditional disks, and tutorials about
cramming 1.7 MB on a 1.44 MB floppy. The book for the class seems geared
towards first time (dual boot with Doze) installs, and goes into great detail
on making one from within Windows, to force an install when your BIOS won't
let you. Again, not what I need.
Does RH 7.2 give the same choice? If not, is there an easy way to move it
afterwards? Am I just searching for the wrong thing...
Guess I could unplug my main drive, do an install and find out. Much easer to
ask here first and avoid them killer dust bunnies:)
