If you wish, you can boot BL3 to a ramdisk.  I'm currently
doing that on a laptop which has 12mb RAM but no HD.  Just
remove unnecessary files from fs.img (to get it below 4mb),
edit /etc/fstab and /etc/rc to remove the loop stuff, create
an empty 4mb ext2 file called baslinux, copy fs.img to baslinux, 
and gzip baslinux.

All you really need is busybox and links (along with a few
config files and devices).  It should all fit on a single 
1.44mb floppy (including DOS and some HTML files as well).  
Keep in mind that the busybox in BL3 also contains an HTML 
server, so it is possible to boot a web server from a single 
floppy (by leaving out links, you will have plenty of room
for NIC modules and more HTML pages).
