Okay, great!  This helped immensely.  I got to where I have a small sample
system in my projects directory.  Since there is still no menu choice for
making a boot floppy, I presume this is left "as an exercise for the reader"?
That would explain recommending that the users read the Bootdisk HOWTO...

Eventually I will be putting a system onto a flash disk, but I'd like to test
the system and make sure I know what I'm doing with just a boot floppy for a
desktop system...

Thanks for the help!

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to.  It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
