problems with netboot

I am having trouble getting grub to work in netboot mode

I downloaded grub0.92
and ran
/configure --prefix=/home/sean/tmp --enable-3c509 && make && make install

cd /home/sean/tmp
i then took a floppy
formated it
mkdir -p /mnt/floppy/boot/grub && cp -v ./share/grub/i386-pc/* 
/mnt/floppy/boot/grub/


./sbin/grub
root (fd0)
setup (fd0)

and I end up with a grub floppy - but no network commands are available

what I am hoping to do is to have a machine that gets the bootloader (grub) 
from floppy - but the kernel and everything else over the network

(maybe at some point I will experiment with eproms)

am I missing something or should this work

thanks in advance
