That won't create a boot disk, just a blank floppy disk. Why don't you tell us how to make the floppy bootable.

Simply download the bootdisk of choice from
http://www.bootdisk.com
and follow the simple instructions of the self-extracting exe.
Edit: And to make a computer boot from the floppy you need to edit
the boot settings in your bios, where default boot device might be the HD.
