I'm not sure it's possible without the time machine :). In the real life, the
order is slightly different: first you load a kernel and then, you can create a
RAM disk. Or, do you, by "fire up kernel", mean loading the SCSI driver module?
Then anyway, how is the module going to jump onto the RAM disk?

This is, of course, possible, but the kernel on the floppy should have the
driver built-in anyway; so it's irrelevant to the original question, not?
