You can boot a DOS floppy and run PS2 from floppy just fine.

However, you must have a FAT partition on which to place the
hibernation file.  So, for convenience, I suggested having that same
FAT partition be bootable and contain the PS2 utility.  (The PS2
utility can be used to set things other than the hibernation file,
although almost all of them can be done equally well via the BIOS
setup screen.)

Cheers,
