I think I understand the solution. But I'm not sure.
Are you saying. Create a partition which is not formatted with a file system and whose sole purpose is to contain a kernel image. Then, modify the diskboot command to read the contents of that partition into memory and execute.
Correct.
Alternatively, fix the existing FAT fs support so that it works independently from a specific boot device (floppy).
