You dont specify which version of unix you are talking about, so it 
will be hard for someone to help.  However, the first thing I would
do for the boot floppy kernel is strip it and remove the #ident 
strings so that it is much smaller.

The pieces of the OS on a boot floppy are usually the minimal set
necessary to build the system, so you may not have much room to 
play with.
