It is sort of in the BOOTDISK Howto
What I did (which may be foolish) is to take the boot disk that works
at the initial boot prompt type
#boot: mount aha152x=0x340,11,7,1 root=/dev/sda1 lock
the "lock" locks this onto the floppy
the SCSI howto and the BOOTdisk howto have the exact syntax
now you can boot from the floppy!
If you update the kernel, mount the floppy
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
cp zImage to the /mnt
umount /mnt
and your floppy now has the new kernel.
Unfortunately, you need the floppy to boot as the BIOS does not recognize
the ADAPTEC you have.
