Build a kernel that works on the hard disk.  Then simply copy it
to your boot floppy.  The boot code passes an argument to the
kernel telling it where it booted from, and the kernel at runtime
sees that it was booted from a floppy and does the right thing.

ps: it's been ages since I used 1.0.6, so everything I say might
be wrong, including this ps.
