I did see something similar already called doslinux.
It is a mini-linux distribution with the 2.033 kernel,
fits on 6 floppies, and runs on a dos partition under the
UMSDOS file system.
It has 2 kernels , eide and scsi; and it has all the
modules available to download.
You can get linux running with only about 15 megs of space.
If you are interested go to:

The one question I would like to toss out, is what is the bare minimum
system needed to boot with NFS support?
Besides the kernel, what configuration files are absolutely
neccesary for linux to run? And what executables do you need?
Of course bash, but what else?=20
