Yes. Build needed monolithic kernel as usual (make bzImage), and then:
#!/bin/sh
dd bs=1440k count=1 if=/dev/zero of=floppy.image
mkdir -p floppy
mount floppy.image floppy/ -o loop=/dev/loop0
mkdir -m 700 floppy/boot
cp -p boot.b bzImage floppy/boot/
cat > lilo-floppy.conf << __EOF
boot=/dev/loop0
map=floppy/boot/map
install=floppy/boot/boot.b
compact
delay=20
disk=/dev/loop0
bios=0
heads=2
cylinders=80
sectors=18
image=floppy/boot/bzImage
label=lilux
read-only
# change /dev/hda to your CD-ROM device
root=/dev/hda
append="single"
__EOF
lilo -C lilo-floppy.conf
dd bs=1440k count=1 if=floppy.image of=/dev/fd0
Then simply boot from that floppy.
