Not floppies, but look at the bootable business card,
http://www.lnx-bbc.org/, Knoppix and the install disk for most any
distribution.

Boards should be bootable off a USB attached device, then floppies can go
away :).

There's also the Knoppix networked boot if your box will boot off ethernet.

Search for tom's boot/root and bootable business card and you'll probably
come up with a list of rescue systems.
