What you're probably wanting to do is much like the install floppy -- have a compressed kernel + root filesystem. For this, you'll have to peek through the 'make release' mechanism available from the src/release package. For something a bit simpler, check out handbook section 10.5.9.5 (?). This explains how to make an emergency boot floppy, and you may be able to apply that to your situation.
