A boot.img would imply a syslinux version of DSL-N which is not likely as the 2.6 kernel is too large. There is a 2 floppy set to download from the same directory where you got the iso. Your computer would need to be able to write and boot a 1722Kb floppy as even the first floppy is oversized to accomodate the large kernel.
