There is no such thing, but this is how you'd build a minimal SYSLINUX floppy image (remove the -s for better performance but somewhat reduced resistance to severe BIOS bugs):
su dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.img bs=1024 count=1440 mkdosfs floppy.img syslinux -s floppy.img mount -o loop -t msdos floppy.img /mnt cp bzImage /mnt/linux umount /mnt sync
