[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:)
