Or if you are too mean to burn a CD, you could use memdisk and boot
directly from the floppy image file. I use this for booting floppy
images over the network but it shouldn't matter where the image is as
long as grub can find it.

e.g. 

title DPT RAID Manager
        root (nd)
        kernel /image/memdisk
        initrd /image/dpt.img
