You're right that an xfs kernel + initrd + all that is going to be tough
to fit on one bootdisk. We have not made any changes to mkbootdisk (and
I'm not sure if there are any we could make to solve this problem...)
In short, we really haven't looked into making a boot floppy.
I guess I'm not quite sure what you're doing w/ the boot disk - you turn
the kickstart disk into a boot disk, then back to a kickstart disk? :)
regarding syslinux.cfg, you can probably change the initrd.img on the
boot floppy - I think that's what kicks it into the installer.
In case you need some sort of rescue boot mode, the install CD works
quite well if you type "linux rescue" at the prompt.
