Lucas,

you should be able to boot from floppy or cd. I think grub supports
kernels beyond 1024 and mbr probably does as well as mbr doesn't require
anything outside the MBR to come up.

You should create a small partition 5-10MB is more than enough for most
people that can be mounted as /boot. Keep that towards the beginning of
the disk and keep your kernels in there and you won't have any 1024
problems with lilo.

ciao,
