booting a floppy image from a hard driver

I have a computer with no cd drive and no floppy and no pxe enabled NIC.

I have a set of boot floppy images that I'd like to be able to copy
onto my hard drive and have as boot options.

I've been trying to use the extlinux boot loader (one of the syslinux
derivitives), with no luck.

Have any of you used syslinux for this?
How about lilo or grub, how do you point to a floppy .img file and boot it?

Thanks,
-Joseph-
