Floppy Copy?

Yup, you are right.  SuSEbootdisk.img has to be on the HD.  You can make 
it with cp
cp /dev/fd0 SuSEbootdisk.img
or you can make it with dd.
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=SuSEbootdisk.img

It's a two step process if you only have one floppy drive.  You treat your
HD like a temporary middle man to remember the contents of the disk
(SuSEbootdisk.img) while you switch disks in your FD.
