I started with a blank floppy, ran syslinux to make it bootable, and created a disk image file of it to use for boot floppies. From that point, I mount it using the loopback driver (mount -t msdos -o loop bootdisk.bin /mnt), and simply add/remove/edit files as necessary (all this on my Debian Slink development system). > Q: I can load packages out of the 'syslinux.cfg' file fine up to the > 255 character line limit, which is where I'm at now.

Yes...the init scripts look to the boot device for lrpkg.cfg and pkgpath.cfg, so you simply need to make the CD-ROM the boot device.
