[lug] RFI -- Making a boot floppy under Slackware

I want to make a boot floppy for Slackware.

I've tried using the setup program, and, while it says that has made a
lilo floppy (and the programs are on it), my system ignores it upon
booting. I've also tried Running Linux's method of using

    dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0

(since I found the vmlinuz image under the / directory) but this
doesn't work either.

Could someone show the commands that should to be issued for creating
a boot floppy?

Thanx.
