Lots of luck.  Last time I checked, there were no FCx floppy boot
images.  Somebody may have made a 3rd-party boot floppy for FC3, but I
haven't heard anything about it.  True, I haven't looked since I did a
net floppy install of debian on my lappie, but still... I believe it's
one of the questions covered on the fedorafaq.org question sheet.
