If you are going to put the kernel on a floppy there is no need to
install lilo on it. It's a bit of overkill for this task. 
All you need do is:

cp vmlinuz /dev/fd0     # a lot of people use the dd command instead
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hdb1 # or what ever the partition is that you want as
root.

That is assuming you are in the directory with your boot kernel.

You could also investigate the dos command loadlin.exe as another
alternative. With that method all you have to do is copy your kernel to
your windows drive (after you have run rdev on it) and from a dos
prompt> loadlin zimage (or what ever else you called the kernel when you
copied it.)

There is a man page on rdev.
