Of course it's possible.  In fact you do it in much the same way as
you build a boot disk for any UNIX system:

	Format the floppy
	mkfs it
	mount it somewhere
	copy the files you wish to the new floppy
	copy /etc/boot to track 0 (for 386/ix 1.0.6 anyway)
	unmount it
	boot it

An easier way is to duplicate (using dd, or cp) the original boot
floppy and then modify the original filesystem to your satisfaction.
