After you do:

dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.flp bs=512 count=2880

how do you add grub to the image and once grub is on it how do you put your kernel on it without messing up grub?

There is a tutorial on the wiki that covers building a GRUB floppy image (there may also be links to prebuilt images, iirc).

I consider mtools to be the easiest way to put files onto a FAT floppy/hd image. Just grab it's source and build it in Cygwin.
